The Transport Workers Union says the eight-hour action follows failed bargaining talks and seeks more full-time jobs, fairer rostering and better pay.

- TWU NSW State Secretary Richard Olsen stated aviation jobs used to be secure but airports have "decimated these standards" over the last 15 years, while workers demand more full-time roles and fairer rostering.
- Sydney Airport advised travellers to allow extra time, as Qantas warned of potential disruptions; Certis expressed it remains "disappointed" that employees rejected its latest offer.
- Transport Workers Union national secretary Michael Kaine stated the strike is about the "security and safety of all passengers flying in our airways," asserting the blame "lies squarely at the feet of Sydney Airport.
