Western Sydney International Airport opened in 2026, unlocking a new global gateway to one of the country's fastest-growing regions. The airport is built to accommodate 10 million passengers annually from day one and operate 24/7, with transport links to the central business district currently in development. Named after aviation pioneer Nancy-Bird Walton, the airport will boost connectivity, support thousands of jobs, and make Western Sydney more accessible for international delegates.
For business events, the 24-hour airport enhances ease of travel and logistics, a core consideration for international delegates and planners alike. Greater accessibility strengthens Sydney’s ability to deliver seamless arrivals, inclusive experiences and reliable infrastructure at scale—key to support destination decisions and delegate satisfaction.
