Second Sydney Airport

For a long time there have been discussions where Sydney’s second airport would be placed. RAAF Base Richmond has been one of the greatest suggestions. (RAAF - Royal Australian Air Force)

Future terminal layout

Today the airport, Sydney Airport Kingsford Smith, is just 9 km from the city center. A new airport will need to be placed outside the Sydney Metropolitan Area.

Here is my proposal for Second Sydney Airport.

Masterplan of the new airport

Qantas the national carrier of Australia will be a huge operator of the airport with 20 orders on the Airbus A380 and 50 orders on the Boeing 787-Dreamliner.

The new airport:

• Two vast terminals (linked underground)
• One terminal conected to Sydney via a new highway
• One terminal conected to Sydney via a new highspeed railway
• A Singapore - Sydney Link station under Terminal 2
• Gates capable for Airbus A380 operations
• Four runways on 3,000 metres
• Hub for Qantas, Virgin Blue and Jetstar
