The Commonwealth government has signed off on AMG’s $80 million Birdwood Road Mixed-Use Project Major Development Plan, which the operator says will deliver “essential services, sustainability initiatives and commercial opportunities in South-West Sydney”.
The project, part of Perth’s “One Airport” program, includes terminal facilities as well as aprons and taxiways, and will be led by Western Sydney International Airport designer Woods Bagot. Public comment is open until 14 January.
The airport has partnered with taxi dispatcher A2B, which supports 13cabs, Silver Top, Black and White, and Silver Service, to install three kiosks this month at the Qantas domestic terminal which will allow passengers to pre-book taxis for a guaranteed fare.
Flight JQ88 took off from Newcastle shortly before 10am on Tuesday aboard the A321neo LR VH-OFL, having landed as JQ89 from Denpasar just after 7:30am. Flights will operate three times per week, bringing more than 70,000 seats per year between Bali and the NSW Hunter region.
The Flying Kangaroo, one of two passenger airlines operating flights to Devonport alongside Rex, will upgrade its lounge at the regional airport as part of the agreement. QantasLink currently flies 46 times per week between Devonport and Melbourne using Dash 8 Q400s.
