The ACCC will recommence monitoring the domestic aviation industry after the Albanese government extended its remit for another three years.

In a joint statement, Transport Minister Catherine King and Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the watchdog will release quarterly reports on airlines’ costs, prices and profits, complementing its role in relation to “certain airports” and helping to inform the upcoming Aviation White Paper.

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.”

Ponovna vzpostavitev nadzora letalstva ACCC je bila ena od ključna priporočila iz nedavnega senatnega odbora za dvostranske sporazume o zračnem prevozu Commonwealtha, ki mu predseduje senatorka 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 končal junija, češ da so našli "boljši način" za ponovni zagon.
