Additional airport capacity required

Demand for airport services is expected to approximately double between 2011 and 2031. Australia's 10 busiest airports handle more than 80 per cent of total passenger traffic. Over the next 15 years, air travel demand will double and additional capacity will be required in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne. Funding this will require continued investment from private sector operators. Meanwhile some smaller airports are likely to need government funding support.
