Where it stands

Western Sydney International Airport opened to domestic passengers on October 25, with Jetstar’s Gold Coast flight, then began international operations on October 26 with completed Air New Zealand flights to and from Auckland. The airport’s passenger-service launch is underway; its rail link is not open, and the reports do not say the opening and initial launch are complete.
