This is great, why doesn’t every town have one of these? Nice vid!

One power outage and it's over

5:39 23mm is 2.3cm

The regular control tower was fine, sure this has a few perks but there was nothing wrong with a tower, this is just easier to go down and cause more issues.

Can't think why anyone is excited about this airport and especially its lac of curfew!. It should have been a very fast train terminal instead. #Not progress

Cool

Stupidity zero redundancy without a tower

Bunnings Just got a rap for face tracking AI. There goes privacy at airports too (not that we've had much) meanwhile, most airports are bringing people back. Aus is backwards.

yep and then the power goes out thanks to the co2lies and solar power bullshit policies and then people will die and the government will blame everyone but themselves and yet again they will get away with murder

This sounds like a recipe for disaster. New thing good at all costs!

Another issue that could emerge is the airport being international and only having a single runway

Noo more tourists

I thought he was going to say its missing a train line

I don't know,I have bad feeling about this

Fun fact: Venus is actually named after the Roman goddess of beauty and love

Good luck with that!!!

No tower?.Sounds cheap.Total power blackout.?.Good luck.Kingsford Smith sounds so much more appealing every day.

Congratulations in advance. 👍🌹👏🎉

What could POSSIBLY go wrong? 🙄

I would prefer a Air traffic control tower assisted by cameras. I don't like the idea of this.

Is that because there is no plan for either public transport or built new roads? And this means that most of the workers can't actually get to the airport to do their jobs? But that's okay. Once the airlines find put that the public transport is only meant to be on paper and never actually become reality, no air craft will use the airport, so there won't be a catastrophic air incident where actual air traffic controllers and an army of workers to make safe won't be needed!

Its NOT the first airport to have a Digital Control Tower - Canberra will be the test site before Sydney.

There's a bigger scale model that you have to drive to appreciate. It is on the way into Coonabarrabran. Each Planet is a rest stop on the way in.

Emirates, Qatar airways and Air India (also wanted Vistara but has merged with Air India fingers crossed for Vistara's comeback)

so they're not gonna use a control tower and instead have a control room offsite? why not just have a control tower?

based on australian efficiency this will most likely fail on the first day

An insult.Imagine 24 hour noise all over Sydney coming.

I see no way of this going wrong

This is insanely stupid. The mantra of air safety being redundancy so if something goes wrong there's multiple fallbacks to ensure nothing bad happens because you're dealing with hundreds of human lives. Whatever pittance was saved so some developer could pocket it in backhanded envelopes is not worth any potential increase in the chance of a disaster costing hundreds of lives.

I drive past this place every time I go to my Dad’s Shits impressive but scary

Fully digital inside too

Bro we need one in greenacare

The camera never showed Uranus! :)

How much used

Twin turboprop can be faster with two engine redundancy. A slow jet doesn’t make sense.

What a lousy idea

Gotta love sticks on GA aircraft

singapore airlines manilla to new york I believe is the longest at 18 hrs with the a350ULR.

I don’t agree with the sister planet title for Mars at all. It’s neither closer is size, or closer is distance then Venus. Also Venus has a substantial atmosphere. Where as Mars doesn’t. With Venus atmosphere being as dense as it is, we could actually build a cloud city by buoyantly floating on the air and the temperatures would be manageable at that. Mars on the flip side has so little atmosphere that it essentially will never be manageable outside of contained highly pressurized atmosphere and the joke to colonize it is pathetic. The gravity itself would have significant issues with the people. The greater distance would cause greater delays in communication and travel the Venus. Top that off with the absurd temperature swings, the dead core with no magnetic protections from radiation. It’s not a habitable world and will never be without an insanely huge amount of material and some currently impossible terra forming technology. People want to find a second earth, they need to keep looking outside the solar system. At least a cloud city in Venus would allow people to not need as extensive containment parameters. This could allow a larger habitat because of the lower materials needs to maintain a 1 to 1.5 atmosphere difference or less. Plus the temperature would be manageable and even very regulated so energy for thermal management could be less. The issue there is water and corrosion because of acid. That would require specific materials. It’s the issue of being in a deep ocean and if you fall of the boat theirs nothing but certain death beneath. Mars it’s death at night, lack of energy to harvest, lots of atmospheric requirements, and most likely due to radiation, subterranean living. No sunshine unless you’re in a seal vehicle or your person space suit. Sorry but it would be better off explore moons of the gas giants then mars if we want to play around. If we could terraform mars then we could do the same to Venus. If we could do both then we can certainly clean up our planet and even maneuver its orbit as the sun expands and heats up. Hopefully by that point we’ll be interstellar by that point. Either way I’m just glad I’m around at this time before earth is certain for doom.

People will still move in nearby and then complain about how they can't cope with the noise!

Really enjoy the style of video, the highlights, etc... particularly the humbleness of Stefan in his presentation style.

Reminds me of London City

I just flew this yesterday, one of the easiest flights. Nice flight at a reasonable price.

Julian O’Shea does it better, earlier.

Great. Now stop anyone purchasing property nearby unless they sign an agreement stating they understand there will be noise, and won't ever seek to take action in relation to the noise.

London information would have covered most of the ATC for your flight. That and some listening squawks at Stansted (7013, monitor 120.625).

cant believe that I was in Auckland airport literally a week before this was filmed and in Qantas lounge. Would have been soo good to meet you

I'll never fly to New York. But if I had to go there from eastern Australia the flight via Auckland seems by far the best, probably less exhausting than the new direct flights when they come. Being in Perth I'd probably fly westward to get there, not eastward.

Crazy no? Tower needed plus digital back up no?
