Sydney Layover

City Overview

Sydney is the most populous city in Australia. The metropolitan area has a population of more than four million people.

It is the state capital of New South Wales, and is located on the east coast of Australia. The city was established in 1788 at Sydney Cove by Arthur Phillip who led the First Fleet from Britain.

The Airport(s)

Sydney International Airport, located in the suburb of Mascot, is Sydney's main airport, and the oldest continuously operating commercial airport in the world. The smaller Bankstown Airport mainly serves private and general aviation. There are light aviation airfields at Hoxton Park and Camden. RAAF Base Richmond lies to the north-west of the city. The question of whether Sydney needs a second international airport has raised much controversy. A 2003 study found that Kingsford Smith can manage as Sydney's sole international airport for 20 years with a significant increase in airport traffic predicted. The resulting expansion of the airport will have a substantial impact on the community, including additional aircraft noise affecting residents. Land has been acquired at Badgerys Creek for a second airport and alternative sites have been mooted.
