    Ep 210 - The Rising Costs of Aviation

    The cost of operating in Australian aviation — whether you’re a student working toward your CPL, a private pilot trying to keep current, or an operator running a training fleet — has risen sharply over the past few years. It’s not one thing. It’s everything, all at once. And for a sector that was already running on tight margins before COVID, the compounding effect of these increases is genuinely threatening the accessibility and viability of general aviation in this country.

    In this episode I want to break down each of the major cost pressures, talk about what it means for operators, pilots, and students, and finish with some practical budgeting strategies for those trying to stay airborne.
