Regional air services in NSW grew by nearly 25 per cent over the past five years. Sydney alone has seen a million more passengers from regional destinations in that time.
Sydney Airport is the linchpin not just for the state aviation network but for the nation. Access to Sydney is critical in supporting economic growth around the nation.
International experience shows that airports create 1,000 jobs for every million passengers. We stand to lose jobs and economic investment if we don't act.
Sydney is also a hub. One out of two passengers at Gold Coast Airport is flying to Sydney. That means a delay in Sydney has a knock-on effect across the network. For example, by 2020, a two-hour delay at Sydney in the morning would affect more than 40 flights to and from the Gold Coast.
