In the last issue we announced upcoming changes to Waterline. Work is progressing and we will be inviting key interest groups to comment on the changes.

The first of two articles in this issue is the January airport charges update, which expands on the airport charges article in the inaugural edition of Avline. Airport operator charges at all airports were effectively unchanged, after a retrospective adjustment at Adelaide. The second article is an update on the State of Play in Australia's aviation sector, now with information about international and domestic air freight.
