Sydney Airport has unveiled its A$200m (US$130m) design vision for the overhaul of the T2 domestic terminal, its first major redevelopment in more than three decades.

Streamlined passenger experience

The investment aims to provide a faster, smoother and more efficient travel experience for the 17 million passengers that use T2 every year, focusing on next-generation technology, modern facilities and greater operational efficiency.

Once complete, it is anticipated that 95% of passengers will be able to travel from the curbside to the airside in less than 15 minutes. The new layout will introduce more self-service kiosks and new bag-drop technology, meaning passengers can take control of their check-in processes and speed up departures. With the airport currently processing 1,500 bags per hour at peak times, this upgrade will boost capacity to 1,800 bags per hour by 2026, enhancing efficiency.

As part of this development project, Sydney Airport’s T1 international terminal is also undergoing a major upgrade to security screening.
