Welcome to Sydney International Airport
(YSSY)
Hub Manager: ALT2016 Leon Homan
Assistant Hub Manager: ALT2063 Malek Turk
Welcome to Altair's Sydney hub.
We are based at the Kingsford Smith International airport.
Being the most isolated of the Altair hubs, we inevitably fly both passengers
and cargo or sometimes a jolly mix of the two.
Through the magic of MS Flightsimulator, we have the whole fleet of Altair aircraft at our disposal and in addition, you may also take to the skies in any other
aircraft you may have acquired from other sources.
We mostly do local commuter hops to places like Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide
and Canberra.
For the longhaul enthusiasts, there are a wealth of destinations to choose from.
Starting with Perth which is about three hours away by air, to some really far
away places like Hong Kong, South Africa, The Americas and Europe.
Once you're done with earning your keep, you may want to dump all those pesky
charts and IFR procedures, grab something small and rugged from the hangar and
go bush flying somewhere in the Outback. On a par with places like Alaska, Australia
is one of the premier bush flying destinations in the world.
Whatever your style, you're welcome in Sydney and we look forward to extending
our hospitality to all pilots, so please feel free to join us at YSSY.

Airspace and Scenery
Details regarding Australian airspace can be found here. It is mostly aimed at the airtraffic controllers but it also serves as an excellent
guideline to pilots.
Vista Australis is the most amazing piece of freeware scenery that I have seen and I have it
on authority from a thouroughbred Australian citizen that the scenery is well
worth it. There is now a permanent link at the top right hand corner of this page.
For more information, you can contact myself or my assistant hub manager. Our
e-mail is at the top of the page. Please drop us a line for any suggestions, queries
or questions you might have.
