- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

Sydney's main GA reliever, 35 minutes south-west of the CBD, with no curfew-driven congestion and customs by prior arrangement. The short runway restricts it to turboprops and light jets; heavy traffic uses Kingsford Smith.
