Australia's National Air Navigation Plan (NANP) has been finalised following stakeholder consultation.
A summary of the issues raised by stakeholders during consultations and our responses are also provided.
Australia's NANP describes our air navigation system (ANS) and its operating environment, as well as the roles and responsibilities of government agencies and industry. The NANP reflects our ANS policy objectives and outlines the outcomes of ANS planning and investment by the Australian Government and industry. It responds to global, regional and Australian strategic planning documents providing stakeholders with a consolidated indication of the pathway that is being followed to evolve Australia's ANS.
Consistent with the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP), our NANP's objective is to describe how we contribute to global and regional efforts to increase capacity and improve the efficiency of the ANS while maintaining and improving safety.
Australia's NANP is closely related to our State Safety Programme (SSP) and National Aviation Safety Plan (NASP). Our NANP details the evolution of our ANS to meet the growing needs and expectations of the aviation community focusing on operational improvements to increase capacity, efficiency, predictability and flexibility while ensuring interoperability of systems and harmonisation of procedures at a global and regional level, and measures to protect the environment.
