Description[?]:
| The BPP seeks a Bill to establish public involvement concerned with civil aviation and to use such authority in regulating civil aviation. Such regulation would be with respect to the provision and operation of aerodromes and the provision of assistance and information. Furthermore, the safety of air navigation and aircraft (including airworthiness), the control of air traffic, the certification of operators of aircraft and the licensing of air crews and aerodromes would ultimately be regulated by the government. Regulating the industry would make it more accessible and economically viable. Air freight is a key element of the supply chain in the advanced manufacturing sector in which Baltusia is looking to build competitive strength. We believe that aviation infrastructure plays an important role in contributing to economic growth through the connectivity it helps deliver. For example, it provides better access to markets, enhances communications and business interactions, facilitates trade and investment and improves business efficiency through time savings, reduced costs and improved reliability for business travellers and air freight operations. The BPP’s primary objective is to achieve long term economic growth. The aviation sector is a major contributor to the economy and we support its growth within a framework which maintains a balance between the benefits of aviation and its costs. With Baltusian legislation regarding international trade stating ‘The nation imposes reciprocal tariffs on imports, with no tariffs imposed on states which impose no tariffs on our exports’, then a government-regulated and part ownership of the aviation industry will bolster international trade. Similarly, government involvement within the aviation industry provides assurances to those affected by the industry, and such regulation is especially important for those who live close to airports and bear a particular burden of the costs. It is equally important that the government has confidence that the industry is sufficiently stable to underpin long term trade, planning and investment in aircraft and infrastructure. Aviation in Baltusia is currently privatised and operates in a competitive international market. Whilst the BPP supports competition as an effective way to meet the interests of air passengers and other users, we also welcome the idea of significant levels of public sector investment in airport infrastructure across the country, such as to lead to the establishment of new, developing and emerging markets The National Aviation Bill (4225) modernises the economic regulatory regime for airports, currently not overseen by the government.
