Sydney Airport CEO Geoff Culbert says the airport is ready for international travel to resume on Monday - with Australians who have been trapped overseas to be the first to return. "We've been waiting 18 months for this so we say bring it on," he told Sky News Australia. “We’re ready, operationally we’re ready, we’ve done a lot of planning for this day. “We’ve had so much thrown at us over the past 18 months – there's not much that could surprise us now.” Mr Culbert said the airport has been operating at 1 per cent of its usual capacity but is expecting to reach 25-30 per cent of pre-COVID levels for international flights by Christmas time. “Domestic we think will be at around about 65-75 per cent back to pre-COVID levels before Christmas time and then it builds from there as you go into the new year,” he said.
