Auckland International Airport Limited intends to implement the safety recommendation 063/05 and has already been looking for possible solutions. However, as there is no standard fix for this type of operation, it will not be something that can be implemented immediately. While we are unsure of the size of the task at this stage, it is likely to take at least 6 months, with perhaps a progressive roll out of different aspects in the interim.
