Commonwealth legislation
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This notice replaces prior permitted-aircraft lists under the Sydney Airport Curfew Act 1995 with a new roster of private and business jet models allowed to operate during the 11pm–6am curfew and adds a weight cap: larger, starred jets may only operate if MTOW <34,000kg.
It affects private/corporate operators, pilots planning night flights, and airport authorities enforcing curfew/noise limits by exempting generally smaller, quieter business jets while restricting heavier overnight traffic.
