Will be interesting to see how this will be handled, especially with the way the Domestic terminal is at the moment.

I guess there would need to be some major redevelopment at Domestic to accomodate the big birds for QF international.

Also it would be interesting to see how they would split domestic and int services, separate entrances for Dom/Int? or processed through the same area with Dom passengers getting express passage?

Will be interesting to see what happens

The Mound and a number of other photo locations will disappear if the conceptual photos are to be believed.

Look like in the next ten years, Sydney Airport will become a closed shop as far as spotting and photo ops are concerned.

I've always said that the aviation enthusiasts will eventually get locked out of YSSY and gradually get pushed back further and further to a point where it will be impossible to do anything apart from approach or climbout shots.

It makes sense but so much work needs to be done, particularly to the domestic terminals. They really still need another option between the terminals in terms of transport (e.g. a monorail).

Not really, just a streamlined, cost effective, airside shuttle option. Splittign the alliances across different sites will mean there is no commercial reason for anyone other than the aiprot to develop it though.....

Hmmm why fix something that isn't necessarily broken?
