Abstract

Early in 1976, the Commonwealth Minister for Transport directed the Bureau of Transport Economics (BTE) to investigate and report on the comparative levels of cost recovery in the various modes and operational areas of Australian transport. This followed suggestions from the aviation industry that the Commonwealth Government’s endeavours to recover an increased proportion of the costs of Commonwealth airport and air navigation services were placing the aviation industry at a disadvantage compared with other modes.
