Mayor El-Hayek said that as the third busiest airport in Australia, Bankstown Airport and the surrounding precinct supported more than 160 businesses and 6500 jobs and contributed over $1 billion to the NSW economy each year.“The potential to double the number of jobs and investment in our city is not a ‘pie in the sky’ vision – it’s a reality,” Mayor El-Hayek said. “It is no surprise that council’s commitment to providing opportunities to connect, share knowledge and ideas and form partnerships or collaborations, has led us to become one of the most innovative cities in Australia.”
AMG, which is owned by Aware Super, manages and operates Aeria precinct and Camden Airport, in South West Sydney.
Mr Jarosch said the company’s two new Major Development Plans, to be released in early 2024, would set the standard for 21st century airport precincts.
“Our planned $50 million central aviation precinct at Bankstown Airport will include up to nine new hangars with priority VIP aircraft access, to meet the needs of aviators today and beyond. This includes private charters, maintenance, flight training and advanced air mobility technologies, which will be powered by electric and hydrogen aircraft and next-generation drones,” he said.
