Western Sydney Airport

Visit the new WSI airspace and flight path design Online Community Portal (www.WSIflightpaths.gov.au) to keep up-to-date on information about the WSI flight paths and engagement opportunities.

Construction of Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport (WSI) is underway and on track to begin operations in 2026. The airport is a transformational infrastructure project that will generate economic activity, provide employment opportunities closer to home for people in the Western Sydney region, and meet Sydney's growing aviation needs.

The Australian Government is investing in WSI and has established a Commonwealth company, the Western Sydney Airport Corporation (WSA Co), to deliver the airport by 2026. Further details can be found on the WSA Co website (www.westernsydney.com.au).

The airport will be a full-service airport operating curfew free to deliver international, domestic and freight services.

Thorough environmental assessment in 2015-16 has informed measures that will mitigate and manage the effects of the airport's construction and operation on surrounding communities.

The Australian Government is responsible for developing the flight paths for single runway operations at WSI by the end of 2026.
