Aviation rescue firefighters (ARFF) and NSW Fire and Rescue responded to the fire next to the third runway, which broke out after an engine malfunction on Qantas flight QF520 to Brisbane operated by the 19-year-old 737-800 VH-VYH (pictured), though it is not yet clear if this was the cause.
Airport passenger numbers grew by a total of 1.5 per cent over the same quarter last year to more than 2.1 million, with 1.6 per cent growth in domestic and 1 per cent in international traffic. The airport has attributed the trend to “capacity growth and new route offerings”.
Sydney and Melbourne Airports, which between them account for 68 per cent of the country’s international traffic, will display images on digital screens and billboards educating travellers on the signs of human trafficking and urging “if you suspect it, report it”.
Newly released figures cited by The Sydney Morning Herald have shown that the government took in $109 million from Sydney’s two airport stations over the past year and a total of $740 million since it began taking an 85 per cent cut of station revenue in 2014.
Reporting in the Newcastle Herald this week claimed that cost overruns on the new international terminal, as well as a drop in passenger volumes and unbudgeted costs for the Astra Aerolab defence and aerospace precinct, have left the airport short of cash.
The financial results came as Perth Airport exceeded its pre-pandemic capacity for the 2023–24 financial year and resolved a long-standing dispute with Qantas over the airline’s move to the Airport Central precinct.
