Established in 1940, Bankstown Airport is located on the doorstep of Western Sydney, just 22km south-west of the metropolitan central business district, and two kilometres from the M-5. The facility is constructed on a 313 hectare site comprising three runways, extensive taxiway and apron areas and a thriving business park, home to over 170 successful businesses.

The airport operates 24 hours a day with limitations placed on circuit training.
