Australia’s largest airport wants to keep a rule that lets some international aircraft land in the hour before the overnight curfew lifts each morning.
International airlines will no longer be able to use an exemption that permits some aircraft to land at Sydney Airport in the hour before the overnight curfew ends each morning once a major new rival opens in two years’ time.This has sparked a push by Sydney Airport to overturn the looming change, arguing it fails to recognise airlines’ global flight schedules.
Qantas, Singapore Airlines and British Airways use the exemption to land aircraft during the hour-long shoulder period in the morning. Their planes fly over Botany Bay on approach to land at this time.
Australia’s largest airport voiced concern that the proposed flight paths for its rival would require changes to its own paths despite it “being assured they would not”. Western Sydney Airport cited analysis it had commissioned from consulting giant Deloitte that found there would be “material adverse economic impacts” for western Sydney if a curfew were imposed on it.
