Flying Privately to Sydney from the US
Los Angeles to Sydney covers about 6,500 nm, so only ultra-long-range jets can make the trip nonstop. Other long range jets stop to refuel along the way, usually in Honolulu and sometimes at a South Pacific airport as well.
On arrival, every passenger clears Australian immigration, customs, and biosecurity checks. US citizens need an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) or a visa before departure, so apply early. We plan the route, fuel stops, and arrival paperwork with the operator.
Private Jet Airports near Sydney
- Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD): the main airport for private jets, about 5 miles south of the city center. It handles every aircraft category, including international arrivals. A curfew applies from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., so only certain smaller aircraft that meet strict noise standards can land or take off during this time.
- Bankstown Airport (BWU): a general aviation airport in south-western Sydney. It isn’t covered by the federal curfew, but its longest runway is about 4,600 ft (1,400 m), which makes it mainly suitable for turboprops and light jets.
- Camden Airport (CDU): a small general aviation airport south-west of the city, used mainly by light aircraft and turboprops.
- Western Sydney International Airport (WSI): Sydney’s new 24-hour airport with an opening date of October 25, 2026. Reports say it won’t accept large business jets, so check with our team before planning a private flight through WSI.
