Western Sydney International Airport (under construction) serves Sydney, AU.
Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport (WSI), also known as Badgerys Creek Airport, is not closed; it is a new airport currently under construction and is scheduled to open for operations in 2026. The airport is being built to meet Sydney's long-term aviation needs and to support growth in Western Sydney, as the existing Sydney Airport is constrained by urban development and night flying restrictions.
Construction of WSI began in September 2018, and it is designed to be a full-service airport handling domestic, international, and freight services, operating 24 hours a day without a curfew. Cargo operations are expected to commence on July 26, 2026, with passenger services following on October 25, 2026. The airport is projected to handle approximately 10 million passengers annually in its initial stage, with plans for expansion to accommodate up to 82 million passengers per year by around 2050.
