SkyBus, owned by Kinetic, is deploying a fleet of 40 buses in Sydney to mark its expansion into the city, having provided services at Melbourne Airport since 1978. The company also operates at Avalon Airport, Adelaide Airport, Hobart Airport and Auckland Airport.
The funding will include $3 million into improving passenger facilities such as seating capacity and observation decks, $32 million towards commercial tenancies in the Milton Precinct, $20 million in runway overlay renovations, and $3 million in car park facilities.
The airport expects Australia to be its top international destination both inbound and outbound over the school holiday period, with other top markets including China, Fiji and the US. The country’s total international capacity is still 9 per cent below 2019.
In the airport’s 2045 master plan, the T2 terminal – currently home to Virgin Australia, Jetstar, and other regional airlines – and the T3 Qantas domestic terminal will be joined together, with up to 12 new international gates also to be added to the precinct alongside two more at T1 International.
Starting 3 November, taxi rides between the airport and CBD will cost a flat fare of $60, which follows a recommendation from the NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal in its report into taxi fares in May.
The kiosks, supplied by Amadeus, will have biometric functionality, allowing passengers to opt for facial recognition at check-in and replacing the need for passports and boarding passes at bag drop and boarding.
