An interesting read.

It seems management have underplayed it but suspect the move to T4 was a big issue for 3K versus the other LCCs as they did actually interline with a decent number of airlines. Plus for the domestic SIN customer, your local LCC user is also more likely to be taking the MRT to be airport rather...

"Ram air turbine (RAT) is a small wind turbine that is connected to a hydraulic pump, or electrical generator, installed in an aircraft and used as a power source. The RAT generates power from the airstream by ram pressure due to the speed of the aircraft." Basically a failsafe to give you some...

From Nightly. "The flight, which departed from Ahmedabad at 1338hrs, was carrying 242 passengers and crew members on the Boeing 787-8 aircraft. Of these, 169 are Indian nationals, 53 are British nationals, 1 Canadian national and 7 Portuguese nationals.” “The injured are being taken to the...

Shame even that Reddit post isn't high quality. While not a big city GIB has to be up there, even if to the northern edge

10M pa is not a small terminal by Aus standards. There is a massive amount of land and a multi-stage plan that takes the airport to 80M pax and two runways, but suspect few of us will see it. On the story you've got to consider the overall plan for both airports. SYD is not aimed to be closed...

It's still a small secondary airport, and there are some real costs in opening a second operation. Suspect some will be surprised at how quiet WSI starts.

That's a scaleback guaranteed to cause a pop. I'd be waiting a few weeks if you want more.

As per above, 6 in 20yrs of profit, is likely not making any return on capital. Suspect that over the year Qantas had some largish loans into the entity so as not to have capital calls, and this might be as much Westbrook Investments not be willing to fund further investments as Qantas .

And a fly through video (threads link) I think showing Domestic check-in and bag drop, and security. Sign for Premium Lounges (note plural mid-way). https://www.threads.com/@one_shotfpv/post/DKwEdkdtLbu?xmt=AQF0pz8iR_95_5gyGeWJP052mqQLXRsMFB8_1jyf6TfrMA

For the C line which heads East and connects to the A or J/Silver Busline.. not much, just one station up the line. But also gives you the option of the newish K line which heads North and connects to the E/Expo and good connections to Santa Monica as well as central LA.

Albanese to cut ribbon today. Lots of interior pics in this article. https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/news/first-pictures-reveal-stunning-western-sydney-international-airport/news-story/dddbb99668d1345a3a4a4d5277131df0?amp

I suspect 99% of members never do any transfers. So suspect multiple transfers to different people would almost always raise red flags

Runway only competed last week, and no aircraft has landed on it yet. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/jun/09/sydneys-second-airport-is-nearly-built-but-will-the-airlines-and-people-come But still a lot of interior work to go, including baggage system and lots and lots of...

Did I say it wasn't? The airport sits within generally accepted Gadigal lands, but this is both much larger than the City of Sydney and smaller than what we refer to as Sydney today. Greater Sydney is currently made up of 33 LGAs including a number of cities (or more if you took the Covid...

Gadigal for example isn't all of Sydney, but it is where the airport is situated (and the name of a new CBD Metro station). WSI would be referred to as Dharug lands I suspect, which is a similar language group clan, but other parts of Sydney such as the north would be Guringai/Kuringgai, which...
