Ahhh. You haven’t ever lived in Sydney. This has been a hot button issue since 1990. That’s when they expanded the capacity of Sydney Kingsford Smith, instead of building a second airport. Over 500,000 people live under the current runways, and I can assure you they know about the second airport. As it was started in 2018, it’s no longer a hot story. However I think it will be big story when it opens.

In 1957 I worked at The Australian Head Office of DCA 'The Department of Civil Aviation' (now CASA) in Melbourne. Regarding a future airport for Sydney. Badgerys Creek Airport plans for future construction were already in the wings. A future Melbourne airport was still being planned (esp for Concorde + 747 with 12,000 foot runways) with a number of sites under consideration. Ultimately Tullamarine was chosen. Further into the future two extra airports would be needed. One in Melbourne's south east and one in the south west. Importantly. There were to be flight lines with ZERO CURFEWS at any future Airports. (Avalon was not yet even a concept being later built by 'The Dept of Supply for USAF U2 spy planes.) Thanks Stef for your fascination aviation content.

@@nsw72 There won't be any issues with capacity of a single runway for at least the first 5 years of the airport's life. The vast majority of movements will be freight to begin with, and a few domestic RPT flights. I think you will see Bonza fly from here also. International will be players like Jetstar, Air Asia and Scoot initially, plus a diversion available at YWSI when fog at YSSY is too thick of the CAT III A approaches. I believe YWSI will have CAT III B like Brisbane & Perth.

@MonstaAU Жыл бұрын
@@MikedWilson Simply not enough utilisation in the first 5 years of the airport life to make the spend on the additional runway (and additional services and maintenance costs including terminal space on both side and taxiways between them) worthwhile. A single runway will provide for ~500 movements per day with a peak hour of 49 movements, which the EIS (specifically section 5, go check it out) states will equate to 37 million annual passengers PLUS freight. The projection is that the first runway is out of capacity ~2050. Now I would say that you will probably get more airlines flying there because of no curfew to make scheduling easier, or lack of available slots at YSSY, so I would say that projected date is a bit too far into the future. They probably want to start constructing it around 2032-2035 by my reckoning. There's a ton of forward planning in the design, including 1900m separation between runways so each one is fully independent for takeoffs and landings. I do wish they started with a wider runway than 60m though. They can be widened later however.

Hmmm I am sure property prices around the future WSI are shooting up already and if Kingsford Smith is closing sometime in the future that area should be very interesting for development too. You are so lucky there around Sydney getting a brand new airport running. Wish we had it here in Frankfurt too. Now the next project should be high speed railroads in Australia, at least the Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne corridor; or even further to Adelaide and on. Tourists would be absolutely overrunning you then enjoying the great Australian landscape. Business and travel to and from Sydney would certainly appreciate it too and catapult you into an amazing future. So do yourself the service and have a high speed rail from Sydney out to the airport via either Parramatta/Liverpool or a circleline- that connected to a line going north south would be awesome even with short haul air travel around.

Not a lot to do in Sydney, if you live out near the new WSI then yes there is nothing out there, that's not reflective of Sydney, there are thousands of things to do if you are reasonably close to the CBD, WSI area is not close to anything

@@-PORK-CHOP- What are all those things to do in the CBD? The place shuts at 5pm. Have a look at the bridge and the Opera House? There's a couple of hours, what then? There are a million acres of world heritage national park half an hour drive from Badgerys Creek. Sydney CBD is tired.
