Ten part SBS series Inside Sydney Airport takes viewers behind the scenes at one of the busiest airports in the Southern Hemisphere, Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport.

The series is produced by ITV Studios Australia and follows from Inside Central Station.

Positioned on Botany Bay, Sydney Airport is the gateway to the Pacific Ocean with up to 180,000 people entering the airport precinct every day. Volatile weather patterns, security breaches, technical issues and the human element place pressure on keeping the 900 flights safely on schedule.

Episode One: Dawn To Curfew
Operating under a noise curfew between 2300 – 0600 hours, the pressure is on at Sydney Airport to complete 900 plane movements in a day. Duty Manager George is confronted by a suspicious package. Meanwhile Rookie Mel suddenly has two medical emergencies in the space of an hour. And a freight handling crew have a problem with loading a bulging cargo pod.

7:30pm Thursday June 1 on SBS.

  1. I will give this show a try and should be interesting to see about SYD airport. I have been inside SYD Airport twice in 17 years & it was a good experience to look inside the terminal.
    There have been some doco series about airports including Dubai Airport, Heathrow and Gatwick Airport on AUstralian FTA.

  2. Yes highlight Brisbane airport…it might help us here who are fighting the authority about the noise pollution we suffer day and night with planes especially taking off over our suburb by the the bay so they can gain extra height… I doubt a film crew would be interested in sitting in my lounge room listening to glasses, crockery and anything else that rattles while the planes are taking off. 😂 ….These programs never show the inconvenience to those living are the area they cause….But that’s life.

  3. I’m looking forward to this. It should be interesting. Sydney Airport has a lot of history so I’m hoping for good trivia.

    And why not stop at just Sydney Airport when they could also make another series at Brisbane Airport, Melbourne Airport or Perth Airport too.
