(PRESS RELEASE) SINGAPORE, 2026-Mar-24 — /Travel PR News/ — Singapore Airlines (SIA) has announced plans to introduce daily non-stop services between Singapore and the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport, with operations scheduled to commence on 23 November 2026, subject to regulatory approval. The new route will be operated using Airbus A350-900 medium-haul aircraft configured with 303 seats, including 40 in Business Class and 263 in Economy Class.
The inaugural flight, SQ201, will depart Singapore at 11:30 local time and arrive in Western Sydney at 22:20 on the same day. The return service, SQ202, will leave Western Sydney at 23:55 and arrive in Singapore at 05:05 the following morning. This new connection will complement SIA’s existing four daily services to Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, increasing the airline’s total frequency to five daily flights serving the Sydney region.
With the addition of Western Sydney International Airport, Singapore Airlines will expand its Australian network to eight destinations, reinforcing the country’s importance within the airline’s global operations. Together with Scoot, SIA’s low-cost subsidiary, the group maintains a broad presence across Australia, offering extensive connectivity for both international and domestic travelers.
Dai Haoyu, Senior Vice President Marketing Planning at Singapore Airlines, highlighted that the new service will enhance travel options and connectivity for passengers. The airport’s 24-hour operating capability, particularly its late-night departure slots, is expected to facilitate smoother connections via Singapore Changi Airport to more than 130 destinations worldwide.
Simon Hickey, Chief Executive Officer of Western Sydney International Airport, emphasized the significance of the partnership, noting that Singapore Airlines’ entry into the new airport will provide greater travel flexibility and bring enhanced global connectivity to the Greater Sydney region. The collaboration is seen as a key step in positioning Western Sydney as a major international aviation gateway.
Western Sydney, home to over three million residents and representing Australia’s third-largest economy, is expected to benefit from improved accessibility and increased tourism. The region serves as a gateway to attractions such as the Blue Mountains and offers a diverse mix of cultural, culinary, and recreational experiences.
Tickets for the new Western Sydney services will be gradually made available from 25 March 2026 through Singapore Airlines’ distribution channels. The airline will continue to operate its existing services to Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport using a combination of Boeing 777-300ER, Airbus A380, and Airbus A350-900 aircraft, maintaining strong connectivity between Singapore and Australia’s largest city.
Through this expansion, Singapore Airlines continues to strengthen its network in Australia, supporting growing demand for travel while enhancing connectivity between Asia-Pacific markets and global destinations.
