“The Memorandum of Understanding foreshadows joint airport management seminars, staff training and exchange, and project cooperation. The outcome of this win-win relationship will be better airports for the travellers of Beijing and Sydney,” Balding said.
In 2009 Beijing handled more than 65 million passengers, making it the third busiest airport in the world, while Sydney handled 33 million.
