  • Aerospace Action Plan Progress Report
    QUEENSLAND AEROSPACE 10-Year Roadmap and Action Plan PROGRESS REPORT By 2028, the Queensland aerospace industry will be recognised as a leading centre in Australasia and South East Asia for aerospace innovation in training; niche manufacturing; maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO); and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) applications for military and civil markets. Launch Completion 2018 2028 International border closures due to COVID-19 had a dramatic impact on the aerospace industry in Queensland, particularly the aviation sector. Despite this temporary industry downturn, the Queensland Government has continued to stimulate the aerospace industry through investment in infrastructure, technology and international promotion. I look forward to continuing to champion Queensland aerospace businesses, taking the industry to new heights. The Honourable Steven Miles MP DEPUTY PREMIER and MINISTER FOR STATE DEVELOPMENT Case study – Queensland Flight Test Range in Cloncurry The Queensland Government has invested $14.5 million to establish the foundation phase of a common-user flight test range with beyond visual line of sight capabilities at Cloncurry Airport. The Queensland Flight Test Range (QFTR) provides a critical missing element in the UAS ecosystem for industry and researchers to test and develop complex technologies. Operated by global defence technology company QinetiQ, the QFTR supports the Queensland Government’s goal of establishing the state as a UAS centre of excellence and a UAS leader in the Asia-Pacific region. Inaugural testing at QFTR was completed by Boeing Australia in late 2020. Director of Boeing Phantom Works International Emily Hughes said the company was proud to be the first user of the site and would take the opportunity to continue flight trials on key autonomous projects.

  • Switchfly Reward Seat Availability Survey
    Contact: Jay Sorensen For inquiries: 414-961-1939 Jay @ IdeaworksCompany.com Southwest, airberlin, Virgin Australia Still Tops For Rewards, But Delta and Turkish Airlines Make Big Leaps Upward IdeaWorksCompany releases results from the 5th annual Switchfly Reward Seat Availability Survey. May 8, 2014, Shorewood, Wisconsin - - Value-oriented airlines dominate the results in the 5th annual Switchfly Reward Seat Availability Survey. Airberlin, Southwest, and Virgin Australia have placed within the top six slots for every edition of the reward survey since 2010. For 2014 airberlin and Southwest share first place with outstanding 100% scores; every flight queried in the survey provided reward seats at saver-style levels. The 25 carriers in the survey remained the same as 2013, except China Southern replaced AirTran as the latter continues to be absorbed by its parent Southwest Airlines. The Switchfly Reward Seat Availability Survey is based upon 7,640 booking queries made by the IdeaWorksCompany at the websites of 25 frequent flier programs during March 2014. Travel dates spanned June through October 2014, with top routes for each carrier checked to assess “saver style” reward seat availability. Two perennial laggards, Turkish and Delta, experienced sizeable year-over-year improvement for the 2014 survey. The largest-ever improvement over the 5-year history of the survey was posted by Turkish Airlines. The Miles&Smiles program jumped an amazing 45.7 points from a near- bottom 2013 placement of 40% overall reward availability to 85.7% for 2014. The airline recently announced improvements to its frequent flier program which included the promise of more reward seats to “improve the level of satisfaction of the esteemed members.” Very quickly, Turkish has become one of the best-rated global loyalty programs for reward availability instead of one of the worst.

  • State Overview "Aerodrome Operating Minimums
    State Overview “Aerodrome Operating Minimums – Jeppesen” (updated 1 Feb 2021) The following tables indicate which Aerodrome Operating Minimums (AOM) rules will be applied for a specific State/Country when converting the Aerodrome Operating Minima after Jan 2020. Even if there is no State AOM concept available for the country, there might be take-off or landing visibilities published for a specific airport or for specific approach procedures (AD Characteristics, Instrument Approach Procedure, Departure Procedure Sources,..). Therefore, Jeppesen may have to depict a State label on a specific chart, even there is a Std label on all other charts. For Military procedures AOM may be published on procedure source, even though there is no AOM concept in place for Civil procedures. Existing 10-9S pages for EASA AIR OPS operators are kept and updated to allow operators to compare EASA AIR OPS minimums against the minimums based on ICAO Doc 9365. New 10-9S pages are only published if requested by an operator.
