Sydney International Departure Location and Traffic Access

Sydney International Airport Traffic Management has changed the driving path to the departure area at Sydney International Airport. Access from Qantas Drive and Airport Drive no longer provides direct access to the departure area.  This route now takes you to the International Arrrivals area.  As a result please follow the following directions when dropping off a CCRP to Sydney International Airport Departure.

  1. Follow the signs to International Airport.
  2. If driving south-bound from Eastern Distributer, take the General Homes Drive to M5 and then exit off Marsden Road.
  3. If driving south-bound from O’riordan Street, Turn left on Qantas Drive and proceed to M5 and then Marsden Road Exit. Do not turn right as the signs indicate for International Airport. This may cause uncertainity to the CCRP, so inform them of the new traffic management and that by turning left you will be required to make a loop through the airport and then onto Innesdale Road before going back to Airport Drive and to Departure.

So in essence, always come from Marsden Road or gain access to Marsden Road for all International Drop-Offs.

Please note some CCRP’s may request to be dropped off at the Fast-Area Drop-Off at Arrivals for Departures. If this is the case, follow signs to the Fast Drop-Off Area at Arrivals.  Please note, there is a 15 minute free drop-off area.  Do not take more than 15 minutes to exit this area as we will not be able to charge the CCRP if you take longer to exit the area.  It has to be a quick drop-off if you drop-off in this area.
