“International aviation cannot operate in response to statements issued at a press conference or via media release”, warns (Bara) Board of Airline Representatives of Australia, in critical of Scott Morrison's presser on changes to flight caps & quarantine arrangements.
As aircrafts were stuck on tarmac waiting for Scott Morrison press conferences, International airlines have complained of information mis-management from government on the changes to flight caps & quarantine limits
'Bara' have raised a submission to the Australian National Audit Office’s examination of Australia’s international border management during Covid , including the outbound travel ban & inbound arrival caps.
'Bara' also criticised the Australian government for having “no readily available plan (or prior planning scenarios) to support the effective & orderly imposition of international travel restrictions on passengers from overseas countries or infection control measures at the airport for passengers and crew”.
In one of the incidents, the plane was taxiing to the runway but they held it while the national cabinet press conference was happening,” fearing its crew would be “detained” for a full quarantine period and unable to staff an outgoing flight.
