| As part of the curfew conditions Essendon Airport is not permitted to accept aircraft which have a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 45,000kg or more. This excludes most of the aircraft used by major Australian Airlines.
The largest aircraft currently operating on a reasonably regular basis from Essendon Airport is the Bombardier Global Express XRS (44,500kg) and Fokker 100 (44,000kg).
The majority of aircraft movements are for aircraft weighing less than 5,000kg. |
