Sustaining our service performance levels and transforming service delivery through digitalisation and automation.
Aerodromes
Enabling the sustainable growth of Australian aerodromes, including supporting new runway developments at our major aerodromes and progressively improving our services at existing aerodromes now and into the future.
Key activities
- Opening of Western Sydney International Airport in late 2026.
- Planning for the proposed Perth runway expansion and ensuring flight path design aligns with best-practice community engagement. Consideration of any impacts on flight path design in Melbourne if there is a decision to proceed with the proposed Melbourne Third Runway.
- Streamlining our air traffic management with digital aerodrome services (DAS), boosting safety through real-time monitoring, and improving operational efficiency at Canberra. Creating a digital pathway for all our aerodromes to leverage into the future.
