Named after pioneering Australian aviator Charles Kingsford Smith, the airport sits on Botany Bay just a few miles from the city center, giving arriving passengers dramatic views of the Sydney skyline and harbor. It's one of the oldest continuously operating airports in the world, with commercial flights dating back to the 1920s. As Qantas's home hub, it anchors Australia's busiest domestic and international route network.
