I could see low-cost domestic and international flights landing here. Think air asia, cebu pacific and philippine airlines. Kingford will be for quantas and legacy long hauls like Singapore air and the Middle East carriers
You realise the entire airport you see now will be duplicated on the eastern (RH) side with a second runway??? The single runway will be adequate for about 25-30 years.
Western Sydney already has a higher population and is growing faster than all the rest of Sydney. Its people will be much closer to this airport than the current one. The old Sydney Airport will still exist and well-heeled tourists happy to spend thousands to stay in harbourside hotels will continue to use it. Meanwhile the budget operators will market to normal people who realise they can stay in cheaper hotels in the west and easily catch cheap public transport to get into the harbour areas whenever they want. After a while people will also start to realise there is more to "Sydney" than selfies with the bridge and the opera house in the background, and use Western Sydney for its own attractions and heading off to the Blue Mountains, Wollemi, the Central West, the Illawarra, the Southern Highlands, the Hawkesbury, etc.
WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU BUILD A STATE OF THE ART AIRPORT WITH ONLY ONE RUNWAY.??? That’s just INSANE. REMEMBER THE ARGUMENT OVER SYDNEY AIRPORT NEEDING A THIRD RUNWAY. THIS ONE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH FIVE RUNWAYS. AND DONT BE SHOCKED IF SYDNEY AIRPORT BECOMES DOMESTIC FLIGHTS ONLY.
The airport will be expanding when capacity increases to two runways just remember mascot started off with one runway than over time they built more runways and expanded the terminals as well so do you have anything else negative to say 🙄
There's this thing now call the Internet. You can search to discover things like the airport you can now see will be duplicated on its eastern side, with a second runway and added terminals on each side and connecting with each other across the south side. This will give it similar capacity as London Heathrow currently has in the UK.
We were told on a tour there. YOU WONT SEE FUEL TANKERS OUT HERE. WE ARE GOING TO BUILD PIPES FROM THE OIL REFINERY AT CAMELIA TO HERE. 🤦♂️✋ ummm miss. THERE IS NO OIL REFINERY IN CAMELIA. ITS GONE.
The fuel tankers will offload to the tank farm you can already see on the western side of the airport. From there it goes through pipelines to the fuel hydrant points under the apron, just like at most major airports. It works that way at other airports like Canberra, Coolangatta and similar. The pipeline will come as aircraft movements increase to justify it, ultimately from the fuel storage facilities at Botany Bay (no refineries in Sydney). Why is it that people happily accept the idea of hundreds of tankers running around Sydney delivering much larger quantities to the numerous road service stations, yet can't imagine a handful of tankers doing the same each day to an airport.
Nice shots 👌 👍
Awesome Footage 😊
LGW has one runway and it seems to handle a high volume of traffic. Yes, one runway is short sightedness, but I guess it's doable for the time being.

One Runway simply means this facility will be inadequate the day it opens !

The most popular flight from here will be the one to Kingsford Smith Airport so tourist can get to city quicker!

Why on earth do people makes comments without the slightest research.
only 1 runway, a lot of foresight there.
