Australian air traffic controllers and pilots have reportedly criticised new aviation rules, which were introduced four days ago.

The main pilots' association has called Australia's new air control system "fundamentally unsafe", while air traffic controllers have reported almost double the number of air safety mishaps.

The new system allows light aircraft into airspace used by large commercial jets, reported The Associated Press.
