Great to see the jet bridges being installed. However, I find it odd that the pier at the very end of the domestic side of the terminal will only have one jet bridge, unlike all the other piers which will have two each.

are they for separate gates or for large aircraft that use multiple jet bridges for boarding?

The major international airport should be at the center of the CBD or close to CBD. People who would visit for biz trips will have to travel 50 km east from this airport to their work or hotels. Unless the Sydney CBD or biz capital is shifted to west, this airport is going to be inconvenience for 80% of travelers.

When they connect Sydney metro airport train line to lepppington which is only about two to three kilometres away from the aerotropolis station will improve connections into Sydney CBD people catching trains to st marys train station is a bad idea Imagine you have get to Sydney/mascot airport for connecting flights would be a nightmare for travellers

Thanks for the update; always interesting. Didn't expect to see the air-bridges starting to sprout from some of the terminal piers quite so soon. If I understand it correctly, each pier can adapt to accommodate (i) one wide-bodied jet (nose into the gap between the piers, with the air-bridges connecting to two doors at the front left side of the aircraft), or (ii) two narrow bodied jets (one nose into between the piers and the other nose in to the front of the pier, each served on the left by one of the air-bridges or (iii) service to up to four smaller commuter aircraft via mobile ramps through the apron level doors. I'm thinking the two levels within the piers is how they might be able to direct passengers either to or from international or domestic service areas from any pier.

Barely enough gates to offset Aircraft parking on hard stands at Kingsford Smith. Very un-inspired design and as expected, it won’t be substantial enough. I genuinely hope I’m proven wrong but skeptical at this point. Doesn’t look like any decent amount of aircraft maintenance will be happening either.

The comments are interesting. My thoughts are.... The airport must open ASAP and will grow over time. The 7 parking bays with aerobridges are enough to start and better than NONE currently. This airport will start with domestic holiday and commuter flights saving WSYD locals a trip to SYD airport. In time international and freight will grow and the airport will too. The Fuel depot you point out is Not a farm. The fuel will arrive by B-Double trucks after it is sent via ship from Singapore, Brilliant.

most airports only have one runway! The days of NEEDING a crosswind runway are long gone. Multiple runways are more about efficiency these days, from my understanding having the crosswind runway just minimises missed approaches hence it is more efficient.
