Flight Weather Service: State Parliament unanimously for continued existence
Salzburg SPÖ MPs submitted the corresponding application to the Social, Society and Health Committee on Wednesday. The MPs are convinced that only if the flight meteorologists who have already been working in Salzburg remain can a significant part of flight safety be guaranteed. The federal government is also requested to report to the state parliament on appropriate steps by September 30, 2022.
FPÖ application against centralization also accepted
The Salzburg Freedom Party submitted another application to the Committee for Infrastructure, Mobility, Housing and Regional Planning. In it, the Salzburg provincial government will ask the federal government to emphatically support another issue in favor of Salzburg Airport. Professional and highly trained air traffic controllers should continue to be deployed at the Salzburg Tower. And this area should not be relocated to Vienna for remote-controlled computer systems in the long or medium term either.
Before voting, the committees heard two experts from the field of air traffic control and practical aviation. Both motions were accepted unanimously – by the ÖVP, SPÖ, FPÖ, Greens and NEOS.
