What can I expect on the day?

Depending on which runway the Antonov arrives on – and this can only be determined by Airservices Australia on the day – you may be lucky enough to see the touchdown. Depending on the arrival time, the Antonov may then taxi past the vantage point on Airport Drive.

Parking is free of charge in Long Term Car Parks G and K. Standard parking fees will apply in all other car parks.

Amenities such as toilets and food vans will be on site. This is a no smoking event and no pets are allowed on site.

The Antonov Event Zone is not paved, so please dress appropriately (closed in shoes) for the conditions. – All spectators enter at their own risk.

Other locations

The Public Viewing Area on Dunreath Drive will be open, but is expected to fill up very quickly and will be closed once at capacity.

There is restricted viewing in the other terminals (T1 Domestic, T3 and T4), and they are not recommended vantage points.
