Hope all the linked airlines will all move, ie, all QFd/QFi/OW, will move, or all VAd/VAi/*A will move, other it will be another HND/NRT schemozzle.

Won’t happen in our lifetime

I think you misunderstand the purpose of the airport.
Per the video the gates are numbered 18-24 (for future expansion) but for many years it will have much lower throughout than any of the three SYD terminals.

If HND, HKG and SIN Changi could do works into the sea, but of course, oh, no, we cant do the same to KSA...
Anyway, I do still like the current system.
But we have to wait I guess, to see what they do, er, do, ie, if they do move QF, all QFd and QFi and all OW will also move.
If its a half hearted only QFi move and QFd stays, then its problematic to get to and from WSI to KSA and back.

WSI isn't meant to be a replacement for SYD.

I believe only QFLink (Alliance Airlines and/or National Jet Systems) and JQ will be setting up a hub at WSI initially. QF mainline or any VA presence at WSI will be a while off.

We did go into the sea with the main runway and then the parallel runway. Wouldn’t much left of Botany Bay if they extended further!

You’ll never see all QF ops move to WSI while ever SYD continues to operate. They may move some QFd or add some additional QFd flights to WSI where it makes sense.

Expect to see some new or relocated JQ services in due course. It’ll actually be a better option for those needing to transit JQi<->JQd.

Think of WSI vs SYD the same as ADL vs MEL. No one is moving their entire operations there as it is serving a different market.
