We’re seeking feedback on proposed updates to Australia’s National Air Navigation Plan, which maps out how we are evolving Australia’s air navigation system consistent with our own, global and regional planning priorities.
Why we want your input
Your feedback will help ensure our updated National Air Navigation Plan accurately reflects the current state and future needs of Australia’s air navigation system.How you can voice your opinion
You can provide input by Wednesday, 19 June 2024, 11:59 pm (AEST). Submissions can be emailed to InternationalICAO@infrastructure.gov.au or uploaded using the ‘Have your say now’ button below.What will be the outcome of this consultation?
Your submission will be considered by the Australian Government before Australia’s National Air Navigation Plan 2024-27 is finalised.The Issue
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requires Australia to have a high level strategic document outlining the steps we’re taking to evolve our air navigation system consistent with our own, global and regional planning and priorities, as well as outlining its regulatory structure, governance and key stakeholders. This information is contained in our National Air Navigation Plan (NANP).
The air navigation system covers:
- Communications, navigation, and surveillance systems
- Air traffic management
- Meteorological services for air navigation
- Aeronautical information services and aeronautical information management
- Aerodromes and ground aids
- Search and rescue services.
The NANP outlines operational improvements to increase the capacity, efficiency, predictability and flexibility of our air navigation system to meet growing community needs while ensuring interoperability with global and regional systems and measures to protect the environment. It maps out how we’re evolving our air navigation system consistent with our international commitments, including ICAO’s recent guidance and expectations of Member States endorsed in the updated Global Air Navigation Plan and the Asia Pacific Seamless (Regional) Air Navigation Service Plan.
Evolving our air navigation system will allow us to share in the safety, economic, efficiency, productivity and sustainability benefits enabled by new technologies and international best practice.
We seek your feedback to ensure the NANP:
- is consistent with the global and regional planning of ICAO and the expectations of the Australian aviation community, and
- accurately captures and describes Australia’s approach to evolving its air navigation system.
The NANP is closely related to our State Safety Programme (SSP) and National Aviation Safety Plan (NASP). These together ensure aviation safety and that innovation in the air navigation system is undertaken in a managed way. We’re currently also updating both the SSP and NASP to ensure they reflect the current and future needs of aviation safety in Australia.
