Q1  International  Traffic growth offsets weak domestic demand at Sydney Airport

International traffic growth of over five per cent has offset flat domestic passenger numbers at Sydney Airport for the first quarter of 2017. Recent figures released by Sydney Airport show international 
passenger numbers through Australia’s busiest airport increased by 5.7 per cent in the first quarter compared to the first quarter of 2016, while domestic passenger numbers were essentially flat, growing by 
a scant 0.2 per cent.In addition to the full year impact of services that commenced last year, over 620,000 annualised new international seats have already been announced in 2017. The additional services have been focused on Asia, with new and increased capacity to China, Vietnam, Korea, Indonesia and Hong Kong. 
For the month of March domestic passenger numbers did show modest growth, up 1.4 per cent on March 2016 (to 2,301,000), while international passenger numbers were up by 2.3 per cent          (to 1,206,000), despite Easter falling in March in 2016 as opposed to April this year.

The airport also notes that domestic traffic in March was also impacted by some service interruptions associated with Cyclone Debbie.

Aviation Fuel sniffing prompts Warning in Australia.

Aviation Fuel sniffing prompts Warning in Australia .  Australian Northern Territory Australian health officials have warned of a "serious" incidence of children inhaling Aviation fuel in the Northern Territory.  Security camera footage shows children breaking into the remote Elcho Island Airport and siphoning fuel from planes. Petrol sniffing is not a new challenge to hit remote communities, but Aviation fuel is even more dangerous because it contains lead, local officials  aid. Lead exposure can badly damage the brain and nervous system.   Health officials believe more than 100 youths - one as young as seven - have inhaled the fuel on Elcho Island and a nearby area since March last year. "Our kids are ending up in hospital by getting infected by chemicals, which is bad for them," one Aboriginal elder, John Gurrumgurrum Burarrwanga, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. #Aviation_English_News_ Readers_Positions  #E...
