#### 18 Aircraft may take off or land in emergencies or if Minister grants dispensation
An aircraft may take off from, or land at, Sydney Airport in circumstances that would otherwise contravene section 7, 10 or 11 if:
(a) the aircraft is involved in an emergency as described in section 19; or
(b) a dispensation granted by the Minister under section 20 authorises the take‑off or landing and the take‑off or landing is in accordance with any conditions of the dispensation; or
(c) if a national emergency declaration (within the meaning of the National Emergency Declaration Act 2020) is in force—the aircraft is being used for or in connection with the emergency to which the declaration relates.
