Final hours before Western Sydney airport opens for business
Western Sydney International Nancy Bird Walton Airport opens for commercial passenger flights, becoming Australia's first new major airport in decades. The airport operates 24/7 without a curfew and will serve over 250 destinations within a year, with inaugural flights by Jetstar to the Gold Coast and Air New Zealand internationally. The airport features modern digital aerodrome technology and has been designed with 40 years of land use planning to minimise noise impact on residential areas.
