Airways currently reports on the progress of capital projects as part of our annual disclosure to BARNZ members. Airways will also use this forum as an opportunity to report on the benefits being realised from these service enhancement projects. Airways notes the Qantas Group submission about the timing of costs and benefits. This point has been raised in several submission topics and Airways’ response is included in the ‘Submissions on other topics’ section of this document. Airways notes NZ Airports’ submission about real-time runway condition reporting and agree that the airport service agreement renewal process is the appropriate forum to agree the responsibilities between Airways and aerodrome operators. In response to the GA submitter’s feedback, Airways would like to provide assurance that IT costs are reviewed annually as part of its budget setting process. IT costs are set at an appropriate level to enable Airways’ staff to operate effectively and to ensure systems are secure and robust.
