Airservices expands international trial of flexible routing

While total ground delays were up 33 per cent during the month, most of these were due to weather issues including crosswinds at Sydney and low visibility events in Brisbane and Melbourne, and just two per cent were attributable to Airservices.

The overhaul is not expected to cause any disruption to ATC services, and will involve life extension on the tower’s infrastructure as well as upgrading internal facilities into a “modern workspace”, Airservices says.
