YSSY 07R/25L

Given the delays experienced when operating a single runway 07/25, how much longer will it be before 07R/25L comes to fruition?

[chimbu warrior]

Well, based on how long it took to get 16L/34R, plus how long they have been talking about/forming committees/having studies done/arguing with greenies etc etc..................another thousand years or so.

I'm expecting it about the same time as they start flying into Badgeries Creek... or Suttons Forest... or Wilton... or...

And then we could have 07/25 PRM's!! That should minimise the delays...

or YSBK Im still pretty certain YSBK will become an extension of YSSY, Mac airports has made sure no one other than airlines can afford to operate out of there, and with there recent attempts to push REX out of their terminals, (and offer space at YSBK) is a sure sign of things to come. just give it a few yrs!

[Atlas Shrugged]

Delays aside, I've often wondered about the need for a 4th RWY at SSY or even the need for a second airport given that in 2000 we seemed to cope with the volume of air traffic during the Olympics, such volume we're probably not likely to see again.

You could build ten runways @ YSSY, and the duty runway(s) would still be the one(s) with the highest crosswind component!
