The Australian government plans to reform Sydney Airport's slot allocation system, aiming to improve competition and transparency. Airlines will have to justify flight cancellations and delays, and regional carriers will have access to additional slots during peak times. The reforms also include a "recovery period" to temporarily increase the number of planes taking off and landing after disruptions. These changes are designed to enhance the use of the airport while maintaining community protections, and will not affect the 11 pm curfew.
