Speaking on a panel at the 2024 Australian Aviation Summit, Virgin Australia’s Christian Bennett, the TWU’s Emily McMillan, and Google Wing’s Jesse Suskin discussed how measures in the White Paper could boost consumer confidence in aviation.
Almost 30 individual professionals and organisations were declared winners at the Australian Aviation Awards this year, including engineers, pilots, aviation safety professionals, start-ups, and innovators.
As part of the Aviation White Paper, the Government has identified barriers to disability access in aviation including unreasonably long check-in wait times, refusal of assistance animals, wheelchair access limits, and disability-unfriendly design.
Transport Minister Catherine King said the industry-run Airline Customer Advocate (ACA), which is widely considered ineffectual in addressing consumer complaints and refund requests, 'hasn’t made enough progress' in fixing these issues.
The 777X fleet, slated to be the world’s largest twin-engine widebody when it begins operations, has been grounded after a key component – said to be a structural component between the engine and the airframe – was found to be faulty.
Over 10,000 aircraft operators and more than 13 million users could have had their personal details and passwords inadvertently exposed, possibly including thousands of Australians.
