The number of domestic passengers rose 2.1% to 6.2 million, Sydney Airport said. Total passengers were 3.6% higher at 10.8 million. "This quarter’s record international growth is a great outcome, particularly given the disruption in the Middle East, where many airlines have faced significant operational impacts since late February," Sydney Airport CEO, Scott Charlton, said. "Growth across China and broader Asia is increasingly supporting travel into Europe, helping to offset softer conditions in parts of the Middle East." Charlton said there were "no current indications of fuel supply constraints impacting airline planning or near-term operations" at Sydney Airport.
