As The country's air navigation service provider, Airservices Australia is working closely with the airport, airlines, operators and the community to achieve operational and environmental efficiencies using the existing infrastructure. Airservices is also introducing new airborne and ground-based systems to handle predicted future growth of air traffic at the airport. Considered as the gateway to Australia, Sydney Airport is the country's busiest in terms of total passenger numbers and aircraft movements. Air traffic controllers handled 309,918 movements, equating to almost 36 million passengers passing through the airport's international and domestic terminals during the 2010-11 financial year.
