“Plane lovers are regularly at Sydney Airport to view the latest aircraft,” Sydney Airport CEO Kerrie Mather said in a statement. “With Sydney Airport being one of the world’s most popular airports for new generation quieter and greener aircraft like the [Boeing] 787 and the [Airbus] A380, there is plenty to see for our dedicated aviation community.”

The airport recently launched a new Facebook page and iPhone app as it seeks to drum up support for its proposed terminal overhaul.

    It’s a good page and thanks to Sydney Airport for creating it but it would have been even better if Airside Tarmac Tours were still operating 🙁

    I wish they would build a viewing deck with cover for enthusiasts. Wouldn’t cost a bomb and can be built in a manitenance free manner like park benches and covers etc (no staff required). I’d even pay to use such a facility. Of course I mean something close to the action so I’m not talking about terminal buildings.

    says:

    There already is a “viewing area” at the international terminal. What they ought to do is set up a museum in the unused air services rooms, and make the old tower accessible to the public. yet it would cost a bit, but come on, this is the heritage of Australian aviation. You don’t realize it’s importance until too late.
