Singapore Airlines has struck a deal with Western Sydney International Airport.
Singapore Airlines has made a deal with Western Sydney’s new 24-hour Western Sydney International Airport. The airport plans to have its official opening in 2026, and Singapore Airlines is the first international airline to strike a deal with the $5.3 billion project.
Western Sydney International Airport has already made a deal for domestic flights with Qantas and Jetstar, and has also officially added international flights with Singapore Airlines to the deal. The previous government had turned down a deal with Western Sydney International Airport eight years ago, to allow the current government to make a deal with the new airport, so that Western Sydney International Airport is a secured asset to Western Sydney and the country.
Western Sydney International Airport CEO, Simon Hickey, made this statement to the media, “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.”
The new airport is expected to create new opportunities and jobs for the region’s residents, and is expected to not only boost Western Sydney’s economy, but the economy of the whole country.
