50 BEST TAKEOFFS & LANDINGS of 2020 | Sydney Airport Plane Spotting [YSSY/SYD]

Featured Aircraft: A330s, A340s, A350s, A380s, B747s, B757s, B767s, B777s, B787s, BAe146s & MD11s!
As we've drawn another year to a close, its great to reflect back on the highlights it contained! 2020 was an awful year for the aviation industry and saw a lot of airlines going bankrupt and/or retiring planes to stay afloat. Sydney like most airports, is getting a fraction of the flights it used to.
Featured in this video is all the different aircraft Sydney has gotten this year that I have filmed, as well as some aircraft that are now retired along with a few repatriation flights that I have caught on my trips to Sydney this year!
A few notable highlights in this video are:
- ATI's new 3x weekly service with Boeing 767s
- Airwork acquired their first 757 from Olympus
- Polar started 2x weekly services between Guam and Sydney
- Kalitta Air increased to daily with 777Fs
- Aircalin upgraded to A330neos
- Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Delta and Fiji Airways all switched to A350 aircraft
- South African flew a repatriation flight with A340s
- Extra cargo means BAe-146s can be caught flying during the day instead of exclusively at night
