Singapore Airlines is officially shaking up Sydney travel. Come November 23, 2026, you’ll be able to jet straight to the brand-new Western Sydney International Airport (Nancy-Bird Walton Airport) – with no layovers, just 11 hours of sky-time.
Nancy-Bird Walton Airport is set to open in late 2026 to help ease congestion at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport and better serve the growing population of Western Sydney.
Western Sydney is home to more than three million people and is Australia’s third-largest economy. It’s also a stone’s throw from the Blue Mountains, plus a thriving local food and arts scene.
While Sydney’s eastern harbour gets the Sydney Opera House and Bondi Beach, the west offers panoramic views from Echo Point and the iconic Three Sisters rock formation, historic riverside walks along the Parramatta River and Old Government House, and spectacular greenery at the Western Sydney Parklands.
With this new route, SIA now runs five daily flights to Sydney – four to the familiar Kingsford Smith Airport and one to the new Nancy-Bird Walton Airport. The sleek Airbus A350-900 will handle the route, packing 303 seats – 40 in business class and 263 in economy. SQ201 departs Changi at 11.30am, arriving in Western Sydney at 10.20pm local time. And SQ202 returns that very night at 11.55pm, touching down in Singapore at 5.05am.
“Launching services to Western Sydney gives travellers more choice and smoother connections through Changi,” said SIA’s senior VP for marketing planning, Dai Haoyu. Western Sydney International CEO Simon Hickey also added that the airport’s 24-hour operations combined with SIA’s global network will make the city more connected than ever.
