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

Australia's busiest airport, 20 minutes from the CBD and Circular Quay, with FBOs on the general-aviation side. The 23:00–06:00 curfew is legislated and strictly enforced; slots are coordinated and GA parking is scarce, so Bankstown handles smaller aircraft. Australian entry needs advance passenger processing.
