Abstract
In March 2001, the Australian Transport department announced the government''s intention to privatise Sydney''s Kingsford Smith Airport. This was seen as the culmination of a long-standing program to relinquish the federal government''s ownership and operation of 23 airports in Australia in search of higher efficiency and better administration from the private sector. The case traces this shift in policy and tracks the course of privatisation throughout the country. The role played by managing consortiums is examined, as well as measures established for the regulation of privatised airports and a closer monitoring of airport performance.
