Singapore Airlines will begin daily flights on an Airbus A350-900 from Western Sydney International Airport (WSI) from 23 November 2026, marking the airport’s first long-haul international service.

The new service is built around one of WSI’s biggest advantages: it’s curfew-free, which allows 24-hour operation, something not possible at Sydney Airport.
