Singapore Airlines (SIA) has been announced as the first international airline to operate at the soon-to-be-opened Western Sydney International Airport (WSI), marking a significant milestone for the new facility.
Western Sydney Airport to Open in Late 2026
The Western Sydney International Airport, located in Badgerys Creek, New South Wales, is scheduled to begin operations at the end of 2026. Designed to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, WSI will serve as Sydney’s second major airport, complementing the existing Kingsford Smith Airport.
SIA’s Historic Move to Western Sydney
Singapore Airlines’ decision to operate at WSI makes it the inaugural international carrier at the new airport. This strategic move highlights SIA’s commitment to expanding its footprint in Australia and providing greater connectivity for passengers traveling to and from the region.
Enhancing Connectivity in New South Wales
The addition of Singapore Airlines to Western Sydney International Airport is expected to boost the region’s connectivity, offering more travel options to passengers and supporting the growth of international tourism and business in New South Wales. The 24/7 operations at WSI will allow for increased flight flexibility, benefiting travelers and businesses alike.
The partnership between SIA and Western Sydney International Airport sets the stage for the airport’s success and positions it as a key hub for international travel in the years to come.
