Airport Information
Bankstown Airport
Bankstown Airport is one of the most important general aviation airfields in the Sydney region and a key gateway for private aviation operations. Located approximately 26 kilometres west of Sydney’s central business district in the Canterbury-Bankstown area, the airport provides efficient access to the city while operating outside the slot constraints of Sydney’s main international airport.
The airport is one of the busiest general aviation airports in Australia, supporting a wide range of aircraft movements including business aviation, charter operations, corporate aircraft and flight training. With multiple runways, dedicated aviation infrastructure and established private aviation services, Bankstown Airport is well suited for light jets, turboprops and smaller charter aircraft operating private flights to and from Sydney.
For private jet travellers, Bankstown offers a practical alternative within the Sydney aviation network, particularly for aircraft operating shorter regional routes across New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. Its location within the metropolitan area allows efficient connections to the western and south-western parts of Sydney while providing direct access to the broader private aviation network across Australia.
Charter a private jet to or from Sydney with BLAK and access a wide network of aircraft operating through Bankstown and the wider Sydney region.

Sydney Kingsford-Smith Airport
Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport is Australia’s primary international aviation gateway and one of the busiest airports in the Asia Pacific region. Located approximately 8 kilometres south of central Sydney in the suburb of Mascot, the airport sits beside Botany Bay and serves as the principal arrival point for private jet charter flights to Sydney.
The airport operates a three-runway system capable of accommodating everything from light business jets to ultra long range aircraft arriving from destinations such as Los Angeles, Singapore, Dubai and Auckland. Full customs, immigration and quarantine facilities allow private jet passengers to clear Australian border formalities directly on arrival.
Private jet operations at Sydney take place within a tightly controlled airspace environment. The airport operates under a night curfew between 23:00 and 06:00, with aircraft movements restricted during these hours except under limited exemptions. During late evening and early morning periods, aircraft movements are typically directed to the east–west runway over Botany Bay to minimise noise over residential areas, meaning night operations are only possible when wind conditions allow use of that runway.
Because of these operational controls, slot coordination and careful planning are essential when arranging private jet charter flights to or from Sydney. Despite these restrictions, Sydney Kingsford Smith remains the primary hub for international business aviation in Australia, particularly for long range private jet routes connecting Sydney with major cities across Asia, North America and the Middle East.
Private jet passengers are typically handled through the Execujet FBO, the airport’s dedicated business aviation facility supporting corporate and charter aircraft operating through Sydney. Approaches into Sydney often provide spectacular views of Sydney Harbour, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, making arrival by private jet one of the most memorable ways to enter Australia.

Western Sydney International Airport (Coming Soon...)
Opening soon: Western Sydney International Airport is Sydney’s newest major aviation gateway and is currently under construction at Badgerys Creek in the western part of the metropolitan region. The airport is scheduled to open in 2026 and will become Sydney’s second international airport, adding significant new aviation capacity to one of the busiest air travel markets in the Asia-Pacific.
Designed as a 24-hour airport with no curfew, Western Sydney International Airport is expected to play an increasingly important role in business aviation and private jet charter operations once it opens. Unlike Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, which operates under strict night curfew and slot controls, the new airport will offer far greater operational flexibility for private aircraft movements.
The airport will feature a 3,700-metre runway, capable of accommodating a full range of aircraft from light business jets through to ultra-long-range private jets and international commercial aircraft. With international customs and border processing planned from opening, the airport will be able to support both domestic and international private jet arrivals and departures.
For private jet travellers flying to Sydney, Western Sydney International Airport will provide another strategic entry point to the city, particularly for destinations across Western Sydney, the Blue Mountains and regional New South Wales. As Sydney’s aviation network expands, the airport is expected to become an important alternative for private jet charter flights operating to and from Australia’s largest city.

Frequently Asked Questions
The BLAK team answers the most common questions and covers the essentials for those thinking about flying to and from Papua New Guinea and exploring the country’s remote aviation network.
Can you charter a private jet to Papua New Guinea from overseas?
Yes. Private jet charter flights to Papua New Guinea arrive regularly from Australia, New Zealand, Asia and long-haul international origins, typically operating into Port Moresby’s Jacksons International Airport (POM). The airport is capable of accommodating a wide range of business jet aircraft, from midsize and super-midsize jets through to large-cabin long-range aircraft. From Port Moresby, travellers can continue onward by charter aircraft to regional airports and remote airstrips across the country.
Are there private jets based in Papua New Guinea?
Yes. Papua New Guinea is home to a locally based modern business jet, alongside a large fleet of turboprop aircraft that operate charter and regional flights across the country. These aircraft play a vital role in connecting remote regions where road access is extremely limited.
Why is aviation so important in Papua New Guinea?
Papua New Guinea’s rugged terrain, dense rainforest and mountainous interior mean many regions can only be reached by aircraft. As a result, the country has one of the largest networks of remote airstrips in the world, making aviation the backbone of travel and logistics.
Can private aircraft reach remote regions of Papua New Guinea?
Yes. After arriving via Port Moresby, travellers can continue by charter aircraft to regional airports and remote airstrips across the country, accessing highland valleys, jungle settlements and island destinations that are otherwise extremely difficult to reach.
