The ever changing face of Sydney Airport

[Nigel C]

Since the old board went down and the new one came into existance, there have been a few changes around the traps, and a few more about to happen.

Here's a quick update:

Dom-3B is a new apron area that has opened between Hangar 3 and Dom-4 (old domestic express terminal area). It currently has bays Foxtrot 13-16 plus their secondary parking positions. At this stage, only Bays F13, 15 and 16 are in use. Fox 14 is more of a layover bay.
The old Fox 15/16 bays in front of Hangar 83 have been removed completely.

Now that Dom-3B is open for business, preparations are being made for the demolition of the old Ansett Hangar 83 (immediately to the east of the Fox 1-6 bays). When it's gone, Hangar 3 (used for corporate stuff) will be left standing all on its lonesome, and works will commence to construct Dom-3A where Hangar 83 now stands.

Bays 20 and 22 have been demolished as per this thread http://yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=71

It would be great if they also built a LCC terminal for a tiger to live in

Lukas, would you mind editing your post to exclude the quote? You're the first respondant to Nigels post so theres no real need to quote him?

Re Tiger, have they announced an intention to operate into Sydney? In its present form I'm not sure there is room for another operator within T2 is this correct Nigel?

[Lukas M]

No no word on a tiger moving to Syd Serioulsy if there doing work to the airport, why not build a LCCT somewhere off the runway, and connect it with a road!

Thanks for the update Nigel. I haven't been out to the airport since Feb!!! So by the sounds of it when I get out there next I will notice some changes.

Is there any way of getting a map that indicates the names of all the aprons. I don't know the names too well, however when you describe a location I know exactly what you mean.

Cheers
