Govt urged to scrap Sydney plane cap The Tourism and Transport Forum (TTF) believes the current cap of 80 plane movements per hour at Kingsford Smith Airport should be lifted to boost visitor traffic in and out of Sydney. But should the federal government heed the TTF's call, Labor says it won't support an increase to the cap on aircraft movements at the Sydney Airport. Shadow minister for infrastructure and transport Anthony Albanese says the solution to Sydney's aviation capacity constraints is a second Sydney Airport. Mr Morrison backed the construction of another airport at Badgerys Creek, in western Sydney, but said it would be years until any second airport opened. In the meantime, freeing up capacity at Sydney Airport would help NSW double its visitor intake by 2020.
