Two more alleged members of the Comancheros bikie gang have been charged over a fatal brawl at Sydney airport.

Tiago Manuel Costa, 30, faced Sydney's Central Local Court over the March 22 brawl after he and a fellow alleged Comanchero were arrested on Friday.

Anthony Zervas died after being beaten with a steel bollard and stabbed during the brawl that rolled through two levels of the domestic terminal in front of scores of bystanders.

Zervas, 29, was the brother of senior Hells Angels member Peter Zervas.

Peter Zervas, 32, on Wednesday became the first Hells Angels to be charged over the fatal brawl.

The violent clash between Comancheros and Hells Angels has sparked a police crackdown on illegal bikie gang activity.

A total of eight Comancheros have now been charged over the brawl, including their boss Mahmoud "Mick" Hawi, who on Tuesday also was charged with murdering Mr Zervas.

Both men arrested on Friday were charged with riot and affray.

Costa, of Panania, was also charged with dealing with property suspected of being the proceeds of crime, namely $16,750 in cash.

During his brief court appearance, Costa, dressed in a black hooded top, winked at four women in the public gallery as he was told he would spend at least the next four nights in custody.

His solicitor, Lesly Randle, made no application for bail and the matter was adjourned until July 7 at the same court.

Documents before the court allege Costa was one of at least 12 people who participated in acts of violence at the airport on March 22.

The second man charged on Friday is expected to face Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday.

Earlier this week, NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione said police expect to lay many more charges over the brawl.

"We said that we will clean up this murder incident at the airport and today we've moved towards that," Mr Scipione told reporters on Tuesday.
