Ah, I knew I hadn’t dreamt that….!

Still hoping for some sort of consolidation of mixed use Dom/Int at T2/3 to remove some transit pain points. But that seems to have gone off the boil along with TT being treated like “Domestic”.

For those 5.5m of us not transiting, SYD is far from a dump (well, T2 is pretty coughty).

I’m talking about freight specifically. Horrible airport in that regard

I imagine many airlines love the flexibility of being able to take freight or extra freight when passenger loads are light to keep routes profitable; but they wont want to have to divert to WSI to do so. There will for the foreseeable future still be plenty of freight going through SYD on passenger planes.

From a purely selfish POV it won’t be our freight thought.
Australian domestic air freight is our gold mine and from which my bonuses come from. SYD is costing us substantially at the moment

Yep, that’s what I mentioned upthread. The potential expansion is more than just duplicating (mirror image) but lengthening the current terminal and then duplicating (probably in stages also).

That looks like many stages to a very large airport at some future date which I will never see.
I am just hoping to see a train to MEL

Good to see long term strategy considered though.
