Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (SYD)
Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (IATA: SYD)
is Australia's busiest airport and is the main gateway
to Australia. It is located 8km from the City centre in Southern
Sydney on the northern shores of Botany Bay. Sydney Airport
is the oldest continually operated commercial airport anywhere
in the world.
Over 35 airlines fly in and out of Sydney Airport with daily
flights linking Sydney to key destinations on every continent.
The Asian-Pacific transport hubs of Hong Kong, Singapore,
Bangkok, Tokyo and Seoul have several daily flights, as do
various European centres (especially London) via Asia or the
Middle East. North America is connected via Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Dallas-Fort Worth and Vancouver. Direct flight
links also exist with many destinations within New Zealand.
Travellers from Europe and the Middle East tend to travel
into Sydney via Asia. Travellers from South America can fly
direct from Buenos Aires or Santiago via Auckland.
You can fly to Sydney directly from all other Australian
capital cities and from many major regional airports. Otherwise,
you need to fly to the state capital and transfer to a Sydney
flight. Sydney can be reached within an hour and a half from
Melbourne and Brisbane, 45 minutes from Canberra and just
under four hours from Perth and Alice Springs
