ACCC jätkab kodumaiste lennufirmade jälgimist

Key areas the ACCC will examine include capacity, industry performance including cancellations and delays, and access for people with disabilities.

“We want a safe, sustainable and efficient aviation sector that provides a high standard of service, good prices and better consumer protections for Australians,” the Ministers said.

“A competitive airline industry helps to put downward pressure on prices and deliver more choice for Australians facing cost-of-living pressures.

“ACCC market scrutiny will help ensure airlines compete on their merits, bring to light any inappropriate market conduct should it occur, and provide continued transparency at a time when new and expanding airlines are still trying to establish themselves.”

ACCC lennuseire taasalustamine oli üks peamised soovitused hiljutisest Senati Rahvaste Ühenduse kahepoolsete lennunduslepingute erikomiteest, mida juhib rahvuste senaator Bridget McKenzie.

King and Chalmers took a swipe at the previous Morrison government for what they said was an inadequate response to the ACCC’s previous monitoring regime, which lõppes juunis, öeldes, et nad on leidnud "parema viisi" selle taaskäivitamiseks.

"Eelmise valitsuse 12 aruannet leidsid langevaid teenusestandardeid ja kõrgemaid hindu, kuid neid ei võetud arvesse.

„Seevastu kasutab Albaania valitsus ACCC seiret, et aidata teavitada lennunduse valgest raamatust, mis määrab sektori poliitilise suuna 2050. aastani.

"Tagame, et terve konkurents mängib sektori tuleviku kujundamisel võtmerolli."

Valitsus eelmisel kuul avaldas rohelise raamatu et koguda enne tagasisidet järgmise aasta valgest raamatust, mis seab lennundussektori ametlikuks poliitikasuunaks 2050. aastani.
