Singapore : Singapore Airli-nes has confirmed to operate at Sydney's new 24-hour airport from 2026. This establishes a new strategic partnership between WSI and SIA.

Speaking on the occasion, Simon Hickey, CEO, Western Sydney International Airport, said, "This inaugural international airline arrangement is a fantastic milestone for Western Sydney International Airport and reflects the positive response we've had from airlines, especially in regard to the unprecedented opportunities our 24-hour capability unlocks."

"Western Sydney Interna-tional Airport's late-night departure capacity, for instance, could allow Singapore Airlines' business travellers to finish a full day's work in Sydney, take an overnight flight and arrive in Singapore before their first morning meeting the very next day."

"Late-night departures could also allow passengers to transit more swiftly from Singapore through their award-winning Changi Airport hub to connect to one of the 125 destinations served by the Singapore Airlines Group," added Hickey.

WSI is scheduled to open in late 2026. The new airport will have a combined international and domestic terminal, promising seamless connectivity.

Currently, Singapore Airlines flies to Sydney's Kingsford Smith International from its Singapore Changi hub five times a day deploying a mix of Airbus A380, A350-900 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.
