Prior to the Sydney service VS used stand S21 on arrival, this is very close to the immigration/customs area.

Posted: 04 Aug 2005, 19:50Due to the length of the A346, it is restricted to certain gates to prevent the tail pertruding out onto the taxi way. Im pretty sure that'll be the reason why the same gate is used at HKG.
