SYD curfew must be lifted with QF strike

[Nigel C]

I believe it's legislated that 16L/34R can't be used unless it a medical or emergency priority flight during curfew.

Andrew, you'll probably find the only people who are saying Sydney is at or near capacity now are the people opposed to the airport, or those with political mileage to gain from it. Sure, there are times when the airport hits a peak period, but there's also times (possibly like about now as I'm writing this reply) when there's plenty of spare bays and runway use is well below 'average'.

We could sit here and argue the point all day about whether there should or shouldn't be a curfew. The fact is it won't be changing anytime soon, strike or no strike.
