There are no races to land before the curfew starts at Sydney airport.
The curfew only affect large planes, and late arriving jets still land normally in sequence, though the airlines pay a steep increase in landing fees.
It is worth noting that the Melbourne-Sydney air route is the second busiest in the world [0] in regards to aircraft movements, and the the flight paths are over some of the most densely populated parts of the city.
The noise was intense and getting worse each day.
Aircraft that arrive early circle well off the coast and do not cause noise issues.
