"The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Transport and Regional Services, Mark Vaile, said he had issued the first Australian Airspace Policy Statement. "The Airspace Policy Statement is a crucial element in the Government's decision to transfer airspace regulatory functions from Airservices Australia to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA)," Mr Vaile said. The Australian Airspace Policy Statement is the blueprint for the future administration of a critical national asset - airspace - and brings together current policy with existing and planned initiatives to meet the demands of airspace users. Mr Vaile said the Airspace Act 2007 and the Airspace Regulations 2007 became effective on July 1."
