Sydney Airport Blasted

Sydney airport in Australia has been blasted by the International Air Transport Association director Giovanni Bisignani for being one of the top 10 most expensive airports in the world and demanded the new incoming government rain them in and make a decision on the proposed plans to be build a second airport in the city.

Mr Bisignami pointed out that in the year 2000 Sydney was ranked 34th in the world for expensive airports, now they have climbed to 9th position. Toronto airport is ranked number 1.

Sydney has also been voted the worst airport in Australia for 4 years running, which Mr Bisignami said was an embarrassing situation considering the airport owner is reporting high earnings yet the airport seems to be going downhill.

Airport parking was also criticised with the short stay having nearly doubled in the last year. Also a report found that rates were well higher than other airports.

However the airport hot back by claiming if it wasn’t for a strong exchange rate the airport would be in 22nd position.
