SYDNEY should have a second airport by 2030 and the best location is Badgerys Creek, Qantas Airways chief executive Alan Joyce says.
Speaking at the airline's first half results presentation on Thursday, Mr Joyce reiterated that Qantas supported a second airport for Sydney at Badgerys Creek, as recommended by a joint NSW and federal government report.
"It is a very forward thinking document. It explains the case very well and explains the need to do this before 2030," Mr Joyce said in response to a question.
"We are of the same opinion.
"We have been very strong for some time about the need for a second Sydney airport."
The Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC) - a collection of local governments including Parramatta, Blacktown and Penrith councils - was due to meet on Thursday night to reconsider its long-held opposition to an airport in the area.
"Although there has been significant community opposition in the past, we suspect that attitudes have changed significantly during the past 20 years," WSROC president Councillor Tony Hadchiti said in a statement.
