The decision means three international carriers can depart over Moreton Bay at night more frequently, rather than having to fly over more populated areas.
The Main Runway and Taxiways Overlay Project (MRTOP), expected to be completed by August 2024, is part of the airport’s ongoing maintenance program and will mostly be carried out during the airport’s 11pm–6am curfew to avoid disrupting scheduled services.
Dubbed Dunreath Village, the centre – which also features a Sushi Hub and a Priceline chemist – is within walking distance of Redcliffe Station in the Airport West precinct and will trade from 7am to 9pm on weekdays and 7am to 7pm on weekends and public holidays.
A Malaysia Airlines A330-300, 9M-MTL (similar aircraft pictured), overran runway 34 at Melbourne on 7 September, while a Bamboo Airways 787-9, VN-A819, overran it on 18 September. Each occurrence took place at night.
The airport will expand its Terminal 2 apron, build a new maintenance hangar for Virgin Australia Regional Airlines (VARA), and develop a new aviation support precinct, at an estimated total cost of approximately $90 million.
International traffic at Sydney was at 89.7 per cent of 2019 levels in August, compared to domestic at 88.0 per cent. In total, the airport saw an 88.6 per cent recovery on pre-pandemic traffic, with the strong international numbers driven particularly by Asian travel.
