    Looking at the under cover path ways at the airport, the long one pointing to the business park appears to be the future taxi rank. If so it is no way long enough .The passengers from one plane can absorb more then 100 taxis and 100 passengers with luggage can take forever to load and depart . The taxi holding bay needs to be able to accommodate at least 250 taxis . As I was a former Taxi Council rank commissionaire for many years at Mascot ,thus this part interests me greatly, thank you.

    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.
