+xHello Charlie, and first of all thanks for your kind words about SkyDemon.
Given our foray into Australia must have been around 10 years ago now, we wouldn't even have a record of the dialog. I barely remember it, other than that it was not a good time for us. I do remember that what it comes down to is being unable to operate in that territory without paying a large amount of money both up front and in royalties to authorities, and for insurances, all while having to slap a "not for navigation" sticker on the product.
You are of course welcome to initiate discussions there to ascertain whether the mood/market has changed in the meantime, but I suspect it has not. One of our competitors tried to get established out there and ended up having to acquire an incumbent to get anywhere.
No problem Tim.
I've opened a general enquiry initially, to see if I can be directed to the right location within AirServices.
I've also reached out to a widely known Aus/UK GA YouTube influencer, who I'm hoping can support the journey.
Regards
Charlie
