Western Sydney is getting its first daily international link, with Singapore Airlines set to begin nonstop flights to Singapore from 23 November 2026, opening a direct path from the city’s new airport to Asia and beyond.
Tickets for the new route have just gone on sale, marking a major milestone for Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport, ahead of its passenger opening in October 2026.
The service will use A350-900 aircraft carrying 303 passengers across business and economy.
Late-night departures from Western Sydney will see travellers land at Singapore’s Changi Airport at around 5am, while return flights will leave Singapore at 11.30am and arrive in Western Sydney at 10.20pm.
The route was first secured in August 2024, when Singapore Airlines became the first international carrier to commit to the airport. Now, with seats officially on sale, the promise has turned into a take-off date.
The announcement is another signal that the long-awaited airport is moving from blueprint to reality, with cargo operations due to begin in July 2026.
It also forms part of the Australian Government’s broader $18 billion investment in Western Sydney, alongside the M12, the future Metro airport connection and major road upgrades.
Federal Infrastructure Minister Catherine King welcomed the milestone, declaring, “Welcome to Western Sydney International Airport, Singapore Airlines!”
She said the daily service would open the region to the globe.
“Once daily flights will connect Western Sydney globally, starting at the new Western Sydney International Airport and connecting to every corner of the world through Changi,” King said.
And with tickets now live, the runway is no longer theoretical. As King put it, “Singapore Airlines was the first international airline to commit to fly into Western Sydney International, and I’m really pleased tickets are on sale so people can start planning their next flight.”
