Sydney Airport 20 year Master Plan
Interesting article on some peoples doubts that Sydney Airport will not be able to cope with the increased demand over the next 20 years. I know its been covered in the previous thread but any White Paper release of the location for the second airport yet? Or is it still toooo early for it to be released.

my bet is they will spend another 10 years debating the site of a new airport before they do anything productive..

Why do they need to go & build a second airport?
Have they not heard of land reclamation? Botany Bay awaits them! |

Or Nationalisation? Just take Sydney Airport back from MAP for a bargain and give it back to the Fed Govt to run after the airport falls over from its debt levels.

.......and move the cargo ramps onto the other side of Qantas drive for a expansion of the international terminal. When is that supposed to be started?

And build a fourth runway paralel to the east west runway to increase capacity for greater aircraft movements. Also lift the hourly cap from 80 movements to 120 movements.

Just where do you propose the fourth runway strip to be located? Don't forget, the current Port Botany expansion and associated works will impact heavily on the airspace further north than the current port setup.
Sorry, but it just ain't gonna happen.

a second airport would be great for airlines and passengers. Having a second airport would offer more options for passengers and more importantly for airlines - AND it will break the monopoly thus pushing down those airport charges.
Suffice to say Macq won't be too eager for that to happen! |
