Report confirms site as best for second airport THE Gillard government faces further pressure to back a second Sydney airport at Badgerys Creek after a government-commissioned report again identified the site as the best option to cope with the city's aviation growth. The technical report on the government's preferred site at Wilton, 85km southwest of Sydney, found the closer Badgerys Creek option would be $1 billion cheaper, provide greater economic benefits and potentially employ up to 50 per cent more people.
