Sydney’s New 24-Hour Airport Moves Closer to Opening with Major Construction Milestone

Sydney‘s new 24-hour airport is one step closer to welcoming its first passengers, with major construction works across Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport (WSI} now complete and the state­ of-the-art terminal formally unveiled today.

Set to open in late 2026, the airport will operate 24/7 and serve domestic, international, and cargo routes, positioning it as a transformative new global gateway to Greater Sydney.

WSI CEO Simon Hickey said: “People will love spending time in this terminal as they enjoy the iconic vistas of the surrounding Blue Mountains that are reflected in our stunning feature ceiling and take in the thoughtful design and materials like the extensive use of beautiful sandstone that was sourced from a quarry on the Central Coast. Visitors will be welcomed by the stories of Dharug country that will connect the world with more than 60,000 years of Aboriginal culture while also highlighting the vibrant communities of Western Sydney.”
