13 Jul 2018 Interim PBN Flight Paths Trial Report Released

In November 2017, Christchurch International Airport and its partners, embarked on a 12-month Performance Based Navigation (PBN) trial to determine the safety, environmental, economic and social benefits it could provide to travelers, the airlines, Christchurch Airport and the wider community by delivering aircraft more safely, efficiently and predictably to its destination.

Today, the PBN trial partners have prepared the following summary outlining progress of the PBN flight paths trial.

A full report is to be issued on completion of the 12 month trial at the end of 2018.

Airways New Zealand, the Board of Airline Representatives New Zealand (BARNZ), Christchurch Airport and New Southern Sky (NSS) approved this interim review and recommendations of the PBN flight paths trial.
