Just a random question:

Why do Airliners.net have the words (Eagle Farm) next to Brisbane International and the words (Mascot) next to Sydney International...?

Mascot is Sydney ( Kingsford Smith INTL ) and eagle farm i have no idea about

Ahhh, Eagle Farm must be the old name for Brisbane Intl ( YBBN )

Trolly , if u end up in sydney (Mascot) , u should try and get the airport tour - I heard its still running and its great , airside entire airport , crawling around heavies .. entire perimeter via taxiway airport roads and places .

I went a few months ago and boy do you get close to the action...I definately recommend it to anyone who has a few hours spare at Sydney!

How does Mascot= Kingsford Smith? What connection is there their?

As for an airside tour, that sounds like a brilliant idea! I have never ever heard of any other airports doing that, but I wish NZAA would uptake on that same idea

Wikipedia to the rescue!

Sydney (Kingsford Smith) International Airport, or Sydney Airport (IATA: SYD, ICAO: YSSY), is located in the Sydney suburb of Mascot.

Brisbane Airport (IATA: BNE, ICAO: YBBN) is located in the Brisbane suburb of Eagle Farm, Queensland, Australia.

it would be like calling NZAA 'Mangere' i suppose.

Thought we did call it Mangere
as is Harewood in Christchurch and Momona in Dunedin
29yrs Air NZ

ps Tullamarine is Melbourne's Airport

Ahh, the suburbs they are in... I see!

Thanks for explaining that to me, that question is cleared up.
