Singapore Airlines to launch daily services to Western Sydney International Airport in November 2026

Singapore, March 24. Singapore Airlines (SIA) will launch daily non-stop flights between Singapore and the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport (WSI) on November 23, 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. The Airline will operate its Airbus A350-900 medium-haul aircraft, which features 303 seats in two cabin classes: 40 in Business Class and 263 in Economy Class.

The inaugural flight, SQ201, is scheduled to depart Singapore at 1130hrs (local time) on November 23, 2026 and arrive at 2220hrs (local time). The return flight, SQ202, is scheduled to depart Western Sydney International Airport on the same day at 2355hrs (local time) and arrive in Singapore at 0505hrs (local time) on November 24, 2026. Further details are in Annexe A.

Combined with SIA’s four-times-daily services to Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, the Airline will operate five daily flights to Sydney – Australia’s financial hub and key gateway to the country.

With the addition of Western Sydney International, SIA will serve eight destinations in Australia. Scoot, SIA’s low-cost subsidiary, serves three destinations in Australia.

The SIA Group’s broad network of eight destinations[1] in Australia reflect its firm commitment to this key market.

Mr Dai Haoyu, Senior Vice President Marketing Planning, Singapore Airlines, said: “Singapore Airlines’ services to Australia’s newest gateway at Western Sydney will deliver more choice and strengthen connectivity to this popular destination for our customers. Western Sydney’s late-night departure capacity will enable a seamless travel journey and connections through Singapore Changi Airport, to more than 130 global destinations served by the SIA Group.”

Mr Simon Hickey, WSI, Chief Executive Officer, said: “Western Sydney International Airport is thrilled to be partnering with Singapore Airlines, bringing more of its Skytrax certified 5-Star service to the people of Greater Sydney. Our 24-hour capacity, coupled with Singapore Airlines’ extensive global connectivity, will open our city to the world in new and exciting ways. From Sydney to Singapore and beyond, we are pleased to help herald this new era of aviation that will ultimately give Australian travellers more choice and flexibility on when, where, and how they choose to fly.”

Western Sydney is part of the Greater Sydney region, home to over three million residents and Australia’s third-largest economy. It is the gateway to the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains and Western New South Wales, the region’s cultural and culinary diversity, and a range of adventure experiences in the heart of Sydney’s Olympic legacy.

Tickets for SIA’s Western Sydney International services will be progressively made available for sale via the Airline’s distribution channels from March 25, 2026.
