Sydney Airport has three runways:

• Two parallel runways that are orientated north/south, and
• A single crossing runway that runs east/west.

Runways can be used in both directions which results in four flows that are outlined in the illustration below. To learn how the flow direction is determined, visit our When is each flight path used? page.

The animation is indicative only and provided for information purposes, on occasions flights may leave these general areas from time-to-time.
