Sydney’s New Airport Will Take Travelers Into the Wild
The first major airport built in Australia in 50 years will serve as a symbol for Sydney’s natural abundance as well as a catalyst for its growing western suburbs.
From the moment passengers deplane at the new Western Sydney International Airport, Australia’s landscape will take center stage.
Towering windows frame distant mountains, while eucalyptus-inspired columns and sandstone walls echo the terrain outside.
Trial flights will get underway in coming months at the A$5.3 billion ($3.5 billion) airport, which is set to serve some 10 million passengers a year from when it opens in 2026.
