Sydney Airport airport is one of Australia’s most important pieces of infrastructure. It is our international gateway and an essential part of our transport network, connecting to more than 90 destinations around the world. We also make a significant contribution to our local and national economies, generating $38 billion in economic activity a year. This contribution is equivalent to 6.8% of the NSW economy and translates into more than 338,500 for the people of Sydney. Sydney Airport is conveniently located only 8 kilometres from the city centre and less than 10 kilometres from major tourist attractions. The convenience of our location has benefits for both business and tourism and is a major strength that will help to underpin Sydney’s future prosperity.
