"Some new generation business jets that have been produced since 2005 will now be able to land and take off at Sydney and Adelaide airports during curfew hours, the federal government says.
The list of aircraft allowed to operate between 11pm and 6am at both airports has been updated following a review that commenced in September 2014.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Warren Truss says the new list for both Sydney and Adelaide airports introduces a stricter noise standard during curfew hours, as well as providing flexibility and certainty to business aviation operators about the types of aircraft they can fly.
Sydney Airport’s list of permitted aircraft was last updated in 2005, while Adelaide’s list had been unchanged for 15 years.
Therefore, new aircraft that have been developed in that time have been prohibited from operating at Sydney and Adelaide despite often being quieter than older aircraft on the list of curfew-exempt aircraft."
