Former bikie boss Mick Hawi has been sentenced to at least three and a half years in jail for his role in a fatal brawl at Sydney Airport.

Mick Hawi, the former head of the Comancheros, pleaded guilty to manslaughter after the death of Hells Angels associate Anthony Zervas in an Airport brawl in 2009.

Hawi was originally found guilty of murder, but his conviction was overturned on appeal.

Anthony Zervas was bashed with a bollard and stabbed with a pair of scissors during a Sunday afternoon brawl between rival clubs in front of terrified passengers.

He died at the scene.

The former bikie leader has already served more time than his non-parole period but his overall sentence of six years and two months does not expire until January 2016.

That means he needs to be assessed by New South Wales State Parole Authority before he can be released.

The judge said it was not up to him to predict what the parole authority would do.

The parole board will now decide if he will spend any more time behind bars.

In his judgement, Justice Hoeben said while Hawi did not play a physical role in the assault on the deceased, his willing participation in the brawl was considered an aggravating factor.

Justice Hoeben said Hawi's participation would have had an effect of "authorising and approving the actions of other Comanchero participants, in particular, the person bludgeoned the deceased to death".

Hawi had been on bail but after the sentence was handed down he was taken back into custody.

Hawi's father waved to him as he was taken back down to the cells.
