Sydney Airport Corporation Limited

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Sydney Airport Corporation Limited (SACL) is the private operator of Kingsford Smith International Airport in Sydney, Australia. In 2002, the Australian Federal (Commonwealth) Government entered into an arrangement for SACL to lease and operate the airport for a period of ninety-nine (99) years. Whilst the airport is privately controlled under this agreement, the Australian Government still retains responsibility for other airport-related services through agencies such as Airservices Australia (air traffic control, aviation communications/navigation-aids, airport fire-fighting and rescue), the Australian Customs Service, the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service, the Australian Federal Police and the Department of Transport and Regional Services.
