THE RIGHT FUTURE. STARTING NOW

I am pleased to present this exciting new vision for Sydney Airport, one that has the potential to transform aviation in NSW.

 

The concept – which is subject to extensive consultation, further detailed design and evaluation and planning approvals – sees Sydney Airport transformed into two airline alliance-based precincts integrating international, domestic and regional services under the one roof by around 2019. It would deliver a better travel experience for the more than 35 million airline passengers who use Sydney Airport every year as well as ensure Sydney Airport remains Australia’s national gateway into the future, improve the efficiency of airport operations and improve traffic flow around the airport.

 

The concept requires no change to the airport curfew, aircraft movement cap or existing access arrangements for regional airlines. It assumes the existing noise sharing arrangements will remain in place.

 

To further develop this concept, Sydney Airport is committed to engagement and consultation with the community, elected representatives, governments, business and tourism organisations, airlines and other key stakeholders.
