Australians can now book seats on the very first international flights from Western Sydney International Airport, with Singapore Airlines officially releasing tickets for its inaugural service.
The milestone marks a major step for the new airport – the first greenfield international airport built in Australia in more than 50 years – ahead of its opening in late 2026.
Flights between Sydney’s west and Singapore will begin on November 23, 2026, with a daily non-stop service connecting travellers to one of Asia’s busiest aviation hubs.
The outbound flight is scheduled to leave Singapore at 11:30am and arrive in Western Sydney at 10:20pm, while the return service will depart just before midnight, offering convenient overnight connections into Asia and beyond.
WSI chief executive Simon Hickey described the ticket release as a “historic moment” for the project, which has been designed to ease pressure on Sydney’s existing airport and improve access for millions of residents in the city’s fast-growing western suburbs.
Singapore Airlines — consistently ranked among the world’s leading carriers — will operate the route using Airbus A350-900 aircraft, offering both business and economy cabins.
The airline says the new route will open up smoother connections to more than 130 destinations through its hub at Changi Airport, giving travellers more choice when flying internationally.
Industry analysts say the launch is likely to be just the beginning, with more international carriers expected to follow as the airport ramps up operations in the coming years.
