Western Sydney International Airport’s Post

Trials, testing and flight path safety checks 🛩️… Western Sydney International Airport’s #OperationalReadinessProgram is ramping up as we prepare to open Sydney’s only 24/7 airport in the second half of 2026. Today, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) began safety checks at WSI, landing a twin-engine #CessnaConquest as part of ongoing testing. We also showcased some of what is going into the live trials across our terminal and broader airport precinct. From technology systems to operational assets, our team in close collaboration with critical agencies, will continue to rigorously test the infrastructure that will enable our round-the-clock passenger and cargo operations. #WSIAirport #WesternSydney #ExperienceWSI

Congratulations to the WSI and CASA teams on this important milestone! Great to see the #OperationalReadinessProgram progressing strongly. I had the chance to observe the Cessna Conquest flight test from the other side of the runway — an exciting moment seeing everything coming together for Sydney’s new 24/7 airport! 👏 #WSIAirport #WesternSydney #Aviation

Nearly there Western Sydney International Airport. Once fully operational hopefully more airlines will make WSI a new destination for Destination NSW increasing capacity, meaning more seats and more tourists into the Western Sydney region. Andrew McEvoy Simon Westaway Simon Hickey
