Why is “Aerospace” doing so well and “Aviation” not so well?

What is the government, departments and agencies real vision for Australian civil aviation?

• Is it to support a civil aviation domestic manufacturing industry that is also globally recognised?
  
• Is it to support a civil aviation aircraft/component maintenance industry that is also globally recognised?
  
• Is it to support a private/commercial domestic civil aviation industry?
  
• Is it to ensure airports are dedicated to support civil aviation participants and services to/for all Australians?
  
• Is it to support the training of maintenance personnel & pilots to global standards?
  

Participants in civil aviation today are a direct result of civil aviation regulations and requirements coordinated by CASA and its predecessors, overseen by the department. Obviously without vision for growth.

The original change from department control to agency control introduced by the Civil Aviation Act & Regulations began civil aviation, non-airline, decline based on the regulatory system introduced in 1988. Where is our manufacturing, general aviation sectors now compared to pre CAAct & Regs?

Any other industry that can create jobs and provide alternative transport and global trade benefits would have some government, department and/or agency vision of growth and change to enable it to happen.

We are confident that government/CASA knows the issues facing civil aviation sectors but one has to wonder whether they have the ‘vision’ for a future prosperous, cost effective, safe civil aviation system.

To bring back a vibrant industry, regulations and requirements have to change to enable it to happen.

Has anyone in government, department or agencies have a vision of civil aviation in the future?

Are they in a position to influence changes to regulations and requirements to enable it to happen?

The cold hard fact is we are required to live our lives in accordance with the rules and all the rules.

e.g. Why isn’t there air taxi services across Australia like the local cab service within towns?
 
Do we have to wait for a White Paper or do the departments & agencies have the real vision for the future?
