Sydney's second international airport will be able to serve 10 million passengers per year in a steadily growing region that is already home to around three million people. More than $15 billion has been invested by governments in infrastructure surrounding the airport.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the opening of Western Sydney Airport would be "transformational".
"This is about jobs and economic activity and changing the focus of Sydney, so that instead of always looking inwards towards the east and towards the city, it looks outwards to Western Sydney where most of the population of this great, global city live," he said.
The airport reached its 50 per cent project completion milestone in May and is on track to open in late 2026. Both Qantas and Jetstar will operate from the 24-hour airport.
