Executive Round Table 1: Getting to Western Sydney Airport - Surface access and catchment area
  • Delivering an airport access system - not just a long overdue NW-SW Sydney link. That is a different need, even if they can be partly complementary
  • The ins and outs of a fast rail link from Sydney CBD and/or KSA
  • Learning from comparable models in other cities with more than one airport, e.g. London/Thames Hub
  • Getting fuel to the airport
  • Making provision for future surface connections
  • Who will finance the infrastructure development?
  • The outlook for new entry, LCC long haul and domestic LCC development
Moderator: CAPA - Centre for Aviation, Executive Chairman, Peter Harbison

Panellists

  • Australian International Pilots Association (AIPA), Safety and Technical Consultant, Captain Brian Greeves
  • Board of Airline Representatives of Australia (BARA), Executive Director, Barry Abrams
  • Sydney Business Chamber, Western Sydney Director, David Borger

  • Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue, Chairman and Founder, Christopher Brown AM
12.15  Executive Round Table 2: Scope and scale of Western Sydney Airport
Who’s going to fly there, what is its role - and who funds it? How will it complement SYD?
  • A western Sydney airport or a second Sydney airport?
  • International experiences: has the ‘distribution’ model been lost in places like London where airports are now competing?
  • Selecting the right regulatory settings - e.g. concerning international market access
  • What is the airline attitude to using the airport:
    • Existing KSA operators
    • Potential users, international and domestic
  • How much growth is likely to occur and who will fly there
Moderator: CAPA - Centre for Aviation, Executive Chairman, Peter Harbison
