Western Sydney International Airport is developing and operating the greenfield Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport at Badgerys Creek, New South Wales. The facility is designed to be Sydney's only 24/7-capable airport, with an operational scope covering domestic, international, and cargo movements. It is scheduled to open in the second half of 2026.
The airport program is based in Western Sydney, with the operational footprint centred on Badgerys Creek and Luddenham. Technical focus areas include smart airport technology integration and sustainability initiatives across the development. The team currently numbers over 1,420 personnel.
As a greenfield development, the airport represents a significant piece of Australian aviation infrastructure, adding substantial capacity to the Sydney basin market. The 24/7 operating model differentiates it from the existing Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, which has curfew restrictions.
