Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

[dajop]

Why is it that every few weeks this thread ends up re-litigating the same argument?

Few pax wanting to go to Sydney will want to go to Badgery's Creek and then find a way to get to the city in

And people failing to understand the catchment area for the airport.

WSI will start small.. it would be a planning disaster if it hits 10M capacity (or roughly ADL) year 1.
It will be a white elephant if they aren't planning the next stage of terminal expansion by the mid-2030s..

I very very occasionally have work out west, Parramatta, Penrith, Liverpool, Campbelltown, etc. A flight from WSIA to WLG would be a good choice. But I wonder if car hire companies would treat it together with SYD as one location, or would we be hit with a re-location fee if you entered by one and left with the other? Generally I would lose about A$3,000.00 if I had to use WSIA as that would be the value of the lost business opportunity if I had to travel from the East. I am a consultant and time is money! No, that's not my hourly rate!

Agreed. Considering it is primarily JQ setting up a large base of WSI thus far and QfLink are only basing 5 aircraft with no mainline QF ops to start off with.

We still don't even know if VA will be entering routes out of WSI, with only just over a year before the airport opens for RPT operations.
