Bankstown Airport
live map →12 overflights/day (51%) · typically 600 ft
Panania sits under the southern side of Bankstown's circuit and the tracks light aircraft fly to and from the training areas — low, frequent daylight traffic on fine days.
Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport
live map →12 overflights/day (49%) · typically 5,800 ft
A separate stream of Kingsford Smith traffic crosses higher overhead, mostly arrivals and departures working the region's south-west.
Light-aircraft counts are tracked overflights only — many training and private aircraft carry no ADS-B transponder, so true numbers are higher.
