Opens on a limited basis in a few months time from what I understand......

It's due to be ILS flight tested from the 13th June, and then opened for business on the 15th June with restrictions (Rwy 07 avbl for arr and dep, Rwy 25 avbl for arrivals and departures with the last avbl exit at Golf-2).

Hi Carl,

You can find more info here http://yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=3118 , found that one by putting "07/25" into the board's search function.

It's not 'closed' as such, but rather has pretty severe operating restrictions in place to enable the RESA (runway end safety area) to be built at the western end of Rwy 25.

As David has said, by using the search function I'm sure you'll find numerous threads on this topic. I also recommend having a squiz on the SACL website to see what it's all about.

Cheers
