Why it matters here

The shorter run from the Central West.

From the Bathurst region, WSI fares start from $359 — $30–$70 less than Sydney Airport for one or two passengers, because the drive is shorter. We have published WSI prices for every town now so you can book from the first day of flights.

What changes for travellers

A second Sydney airport, closer to home.

Western Sydney International opens a second major airport on the western edge of the basin. For Bathurst & the Central West that means a shorter drive than Kingsford Smith — you come down the mountains and reach the airport without crossing the whole city — so the fixed fare is lower and the trip quicker. As the flight schedule is confirmed we will match pickup timing to the first services.
