Very few flights come through Melbourne and Brisbane now between 11pm and 6am, but both are 24 hours.Yep, no more sitting around Sth East Asian airports waiting for the red-eye to depart at 10pm local time so you can arrive into Sydney after the curfew lifts.
Yes they were. I’d suggest you watch this. Gives plenty of perspective and the power of the media and politics in enflaming a situation.
Yeah but WSIA will be 90 mins on a average traffic day ?Most airports around the world are 25-30 mins drive away from the city centre on the outskirts.
Sydney is one of the rare ones basically 5-10 mins away from the city centre.

THE BEETOOTA ADVOCATE dives Into THE CRONULLA RIOTS
How do you go from media exaggeration to a full-blown race riot? Let The Betoota Advocate walk you through a day in 2005 where Cronulla made international headlinestvblackbox.com.au
Thanks. I'm pretty familiar with the putrid goings on about those sad times.Yes they were. I’d suggest you watch this. Gives plenty of perspective and the power of the media and politics in enflaming a situation.

Tribunal rules Alan Jones incited hatred
Alan Jones has lost his bid to overturn a tribunal decision which found he incited hatred of Lebanese Muslims in the lead-up to the Cronulla riots.www.abc.net.au
Is there a shock jock that isn't a piece of shit.Alan Jones is total piece of shit.
Maybe to come home?Why the f**k would anyone want to land in Sydney/Parramatta between 11pm and 6am anyway?
Give me sitting around around Changi, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Narita/Japan, even Abu Dhabi/Doha or LA airports to wait for a reasonable arrival time back in Australia any day of the week.
Not from the 4 million people that don't live in the Eastern Suburbs.Yeah but WSIA will be 90 mins on a average traffic day ?
At 2am-3am in the morning Aus time...?Maybe to come home?
That does sound shit.I have sat around KL airport after finishing work (checked out in the morning) with a week's worth of luggage, until late on a Friday night, only to arrive back in Sydney at 8am on a Saturday morning. I don't think this flight exists anymore but back in the day it was shit - and I did it about 20 times in one year.
In reality, how many people are really going to want to fly in between 10pm and 6am? Not me.
Well the context was the graveyard shift of the runway and who would use it.Not from the 4 million people that don't live in the Eastern Suburbs.
I hear Aqua golf is pretty popular along with whitewater rafting on the nepean River.Well the context was the graveyard shift of the runway and who would use it.
Do you think that many international visitors will be spending all their holiday within 25 mins of Badgery's Creek ?

Who said that?
Maybe those "international travellers" you speak of are actually western Sydney residents? We go overseas as well, in case you don't know.
There may well be plenty in western Sydney that don't care what time a flight arrives, particularly if it is a cheaper flight.
It's quite obvious that most of the overnight arrivals will initially be an advantage to the freight industry which cannot do that now at KSIA, and never will.
However, it is not unusual the world over for flights to arrive at all hours of the day or night at curfew free airports.
This is the advantage that WSIinternationalA will have over KS.
This isn't an Avalon or Gold Coast or Rockhampton. It's a full International airport with supporting road and rail infrastructure.
Anyway, never mind. A $50 dollar Uber or a short public transport trip will get you to "your" airport.
Those of us out west will finally have the same privilege.
