Sydney Airport



         


Sydney (Kingsford Smith) International Airport, or Sydney Airport, is located in Mascot, New South Wales, and is the major airport serving Sydney, Australia. It is a major hub for Qantas and has the IATA Airport Code SYD. Originally declared an aerodrome in 1920, and known as Sydney Airport, in 1953 it was renamed Sydney (Kingsford Smith) International Airport, after Charles Kingsford Smith, a pioneering Australian aviator. Most locals refer to the airport as "Mascot".

Situated next to Botany Bay, it is accessible by road and train (on the East Hills Line, and this line continues to the central business district through Central Station). Kingsford Smith has three runways, colloquially the "East-West", and two "North-South" runways, the second recently built.
