440032 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I'm reliably informed by a local that the airport is closing from 1 March 2024 for six months, for the runway upgrade. But there is NOTHING on the shire website about it. https://www.campaspe.vic.gov.au/Recreation-events/Visit-Campaspe/Echuca-aerodrome And there is nothing on the aero club website about it. https://www.echucaaeroclub.com/wentworth.html So is it true, and if so, where is the info? Has anyone bothered to tell Air Ambulance Victoria/RFDS? Or is this going to be a Meigs Field re-enactment? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reynard Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) I dunno, but you could try these guys to get a rough idea- they’ve got the contract I think. https://www.northernconstructionsgroup.com.au/contact-us/ Edited February 17 by Reynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 IT should be NOTAMed. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
440032 Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 (edited) It won't be notamed if it's not yet closed. I can't check today, Airservices has cut off my NAIPS access yet again for the fifth time in recent years. I am sick of having to get it reconnected time and time again.

The council owns and operates the aerodrome - and there is nothing on their website about it closing soon. It's the council's job to put word out - if it's true. A local there tells me it is true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I'd say it's the Council's job as the operator to advise CASA whose job it is to promulgate the information to the Industry. This would have to be done before it happened. Nev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
440032 Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Since when does CASA promulgate airport closure information to industry. CASA don't care, nothing to do with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
