flag Western Sydney Airport is on track to open in July 2026 with key safety tests and initial flights from major airlines.

flag Western Sydney International Airport, also known as Badgerys Creek, is on track to open for commercial flights by July 2026, with key safety tests underway. flag A Cessna Conquest has conducted flight path evaluations under regulator supervision, and a NSW Rural Fire Service Boeing 737 is set for the first jet landing to test emergency response. flag A major systems test in March will involve volunteers simulating passengers. flag Airlines including Qantas, Jetstar, Singapore Airlines, and Air New Zealand have committed to operating there, though initial flight numbers will be lower than at Sydney’s current main airport. flag While the airport’s curfew-free operation is a competitive advantage, a planned metro rail link may be delayed until December 2027 due to contractor disputes, potentially increasing costs by $2.2 billion. flag Officials confirm the airport remains on schedule for its 2026 opening.
