Australia's First New Airport In Half A Century Takes Flight
Western Sydney International Airport has officially opened, marking a historic day for Sydney with the first brand new airport built in Australia in over half a century. The $14 billion airport began operations with Jetstar’s first commercial flight to the Gold Coast, followed by Air New Zealand’s inaugural international flight tomorrow. The airport is designed to accommodate future growth, with plans to operate curfew-free and expand its network of domestic and international routes.
