AUS: Defence officials refused to provide coordinates of the Chinese flotilla - theold - 28-02-2025
Defence Department officials refused to provide airlines with coordinates of the Chinese flotilla until after live-firing resumed on Saturday despite pleas from the carriers for information that would allow them to pre-emptively avoid flying near the warships.
Industry sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorised to speak publicly, revealed the resistance from Defence chiefs on Saturday frustrated both the airlines and the nation’s air traffic controller, Airservices Australia, as they grappled with the safety implications of military drills in the normally tranquil Tasman Sea.
