Interesting, Mark, that the CRJ700/900/1000 are included in that list... it seems an airline could easily work around the 'corporate' nature of their exemption from curfew in order to offer scheduled flights to places the turboprops couldn't make!

Clearly Jetgo have looked at it:

Our ERJs are so quiet that they are the only commercial jet aircraft permitted to operate into Sydney Airport during the curfew period.

It was 2 of the JetGo Embraers that did the DiCaprio flights a few ago on New Years Eve from Sydney to Canberra. They left within a few minutes of each other at around 0100.

And Sydney has been formally closed once during my time there. "Car 24" had the honours if I remember correctly. And no, that wasn't me!
