Sydney Airport’s travelling better for its new private capital owners, but it’s still a long way off pre-pandemic levels in terms of traffic, revenue and earnings.

The airport’s first set of accounts lodged as a non-listed entity show it recorded $1.05 billion revenue in the year to December 31, up from $620.6 million in 2021 and $803.7 million in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic first struck.
