The federal government is considering lifting Sydney Airport's 11pm to 6am curfew as it holds a review to determine the most effective way to revive the nation's crippled aviation industry.
The airport’s 80 aircraft movements per hour flight cap and allocated time slots for take-offs and landings will also be reviewed.
Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack was expected to release a 36-page issues paper today, prompted by a commission report released in 2019 which looked into Sydney Airport and found some measures unnecessarily restrictive.
The review has sparked concerns for some Sydney residents living under the airport’s flight path, who feared disruption to their mornings if the curfew was repealed.
