A prime example of IAC's capabilities in this field is the proposal forwarded to the Australian Federal Government which provides a total economic and environmental solution to the problems associated with Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport (KSA). In essence, the proposal is to construct two parallel runways in the south of Botany Bay, together with their supporting infrastructure, to be operated in co-ordination with the existing runways at KSA, all as part of the one Sydney Airport. This development would be inclusive of the restoration and enhancement of both land and water areas in the south of Botany Bay so that it becomes one large land and aquatic park, with the airport runways and their infrastructure integrated with it.

This proposal would provide tangible benefits to Sydney and Australia in terms of a significant noise reduction, the retention of the airports proximity to the CBD, provide the continued utilization of existing infrastructure and enable a dramatic increase in capacity to ensure international, domestic and regional access well into the future.
