In the two weeks leading up to Christmas 2006, Air Services Australia used their facilities to report on Santa's preparations for his arduous international journey on 24 December 2006.

The final entry on their website on 25 December 2006 was:
"Santa visited Australian homes last night. Air traffic controllers reported that his flight was smooth and uneventful.
Santa left Australian airspace just after midnight West Australian time, heading for Papua New Guinea"
