A man has been charged after allegedly broadcasting false mayday recordings to commercial aircraft in Victoria. The Australian Federal Police began investigating illegal radio interference at Melbourne Airport in September after receiving a report about someone interfering with radio transmissions of commercial aircraft. The individual was broadcasting “various chants and false mayday recordings” the AFP said. On Saturday police executed a search warrant on Saturday at a home in Lower Plenty.
This included two mobile phones that had recordings of chants and mayday messages. The occupant of the home, a 45-year-old man, was arrested and charged with a series of offences relating to the unauthorised radio interference. AFP Detective Superintendent Simone Butcher said the offences were “extremely serious”. Aviation security is critical and appropriate procedures, processes and systems are in place to ensure the safety of aviation operations across Australian airports,” Butcher said.
