Attention pilots: airspace restrictions from 22

There will be airspace restrictions around Sydney and Canberra between 22-25 May as the cities host a significant event.

The changes are:

  • significant restrictions within 30 nautical miles of Sydney and Canberra airports
  • flight notification requirements out to 120 nautical miles from each airport.

The restricted areas will be patrolled by Defence and police aircraft.

Scheduled passenger and cargo flights to and from Sydney and Canberra will continue to operate with the restricted airspace but may experience delays.

General aviation, drones and aircraft below 5,700kg maximum take-off weight will not be permitted to operate in some areas.

Some general aviation operations will be permitted in the outer restricted area which extends from 30 nautical miles, but restrictions will continue to apply many activities.

The restrictions are likely to be turned on at short notice via NOTAM.
