Airservices is reviewing how we report on SODPROPS, including how we align data sources and calculations to improve accuracy. We made initial updates to SODPROPS reporting methodology on 17 February 2025, so you may notice some minor changes in historic data. You may also notice some changes to the way data is presented in the February 2025 report, including moving back to presenting figures in whole hours for simplicity. We are committed to continually improving our reporting to provide the community with clear, accurate, and transparent information.
