Sydney Airport

Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD)

The main runway of Sydney Airport is one of the longest commercial runways in the world at just under 4 km. It was extended to this length in the late 1970s so it could double as a designated emergency landing site for the NASA Space Shuttle until 1986.
