The athletes were greeted by family and friends inside a Qantas hangar at Sydney Airport.
While, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns were also present to celebrate the return of the athletes.
The flight back was subdued, with many athletes too exhausted to celebrate.
According to 2GB producer Spiro Christopoulos, athletes with medals secured business class seats. Two-time Olympians were offered premium economy.
The plane was notably heavier by 25 kilograms due to the weight of the athletes’ medals.
