Incorrect re the curfew. The only freight aircraft permitted are BAe146 and DC-9, and the E190 is too heavy by half for the 34t carve out. Without changes to the legislation, the E190 P2F will not be permitted to operate during curfew.

The B737-300/400's of Qantas Freight and Toll routinely take off and land during the curfew period. There was a change to the rules early during curfew to allow this.

There has been no change to the rules. A time limited exemption was granted and after much lobbying might I add.

Which is a change, is it not?

Temporary but still a change.

To say that the 146 and DC-9 are the only aircraft permitted is also incorrect. Multiple turboprop aircraft are also permitted.

Fair enough, those are the only JET freighters.

And no, it is not a rule change, it’s a temporary exemption. The legislation has not been amended, the rules still apply to any other aircraft or operator.

Geez , DC9’s into SYD hey . How many have you seen lately ?

David, I think this is the DC-9 in question

Departed Oz in February 1999

I assume the A321P2F has the same exemption for its regualr 0200 departure?

Today Batik Malaysia started MAX 8 ops to Brissy
