Latest News About Rinehart and others shut out of new airport

Western Sydney Airport has restricted access for many personal aircraft, stranding owners including mining billionaires Gina Rinehart and Chris Hanson stranded.

The fresh airport, which opened recently, has limited entry for all but a select group of operators.
