How many less flights will be from Sydney airport once had very creek opens up? Anyone have any idea?
I would assume they would move about 35% of flight there.

I dont know if anyone knows ... i think they are still having trouble convincing airlines to fly out of "very creek"

I think there is a resistance because many sydney visitors want to land near the city/coast - not travel 30+ minutes ... but im sure there will be some spread.

Maybe freight will move to eastern creek?

Well most new warehouses are in Erskine park which is a lot closer to the new airport. So yes freight makes sense.
International travels flying in I could understand wanting to land in Sydney. But people living in many parts of NSW would most likely find the Badgery creek far easier to get to. Large area from Blacktown back. Then look at Campbeltown and people coming from Bathurst or Sth coast.
I'd imagine things like long term parking stations would be a lot cheaper.
Once the train line is in you would have a 12min ride to St Mary's followed by a fast train to Sydney. About a 1 hour total journey as opposed to 15mins.

In saying that the fact it would be open 24hrs means plenty of international flights would have no other option but to land here.

It could be 50% of flights

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Or even 35% more than that?

67.5%?

FFS!

I'd guess eventually (and that's a broad term obviously) if they do go for the new airport the majority flights will go to or from there.

Distance isn't an issue if it's the only option. KLIA is an hour from the city for eg. Hanoi is about that as well. Eventually it'll happen

You could just get a flight from Eastern Creek to Mascot.

Maybe they should put a dedicated transport loop between them.

Like a monorail

WSA will eventually be very well serviced by both commuter and freight rail lines.

It will also be connected well by road. A new motorway (M12) will Iink it directly to the M7.

It might be the painkillers talking but how good is the weather in Sydney this arvo? Good one, Universe.

Shame about the rest of the shitty NSW regional freight line that doesn't connect to the interstate network.

Yep needs transport ... it needs a fast direct link to the city ... no f**ker wants to go to leppington to get to the city ... and they dont want to be dicking around changing trains with bags

It will get flights but might take time for airlines to sort their shit out

Thats assuming there are airlines.... they might all be out of business by then

It is a massive project.
I am very curious to know how much it will be used. And how much superior this airport will be compared to Sydney.
They will want to get as much as they can out of it. I can see it being the no 1 airport.

 

[hindy111]

It isn't like Avalon where you need a cab to get to the city either

Be great if it ended up #1. The more noise away from mascot the better

The metro station in Orchard Hills is 1km from mum farm. The motherf**kers may knock my shed down.
Not without a fight

They've been scoping the joint while you've been dicking around on the forum.

You're f**ked shed boy.

Where the f**k will the VL go?
