Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

[jase05]

Agreed, that's just like QF/VA/JQ running "transfer buses" between MCY/OOL and BNE.

It seems that WSI hasn't been convincing in attracting airlines for their launch months apart from QF/JQ and SQ (which has been confirmed in earlier posts in this thread of posting a WSI specific promo early).

Despite "newspaper analysts" from various News Corp and 9media rags saying that VA are 'missing out' by not launching WSI on launch day, VA's planners dont seem convinced (as evidenced by their planned mid 2026 modest flight increases elsewhere ex SYD and MEL/CBR) despite the NSW government subsidies on offer for VA to start some WSI flights.

VA doesn’t have the freight dollars to help subsidise.
QF/JQ have the cream contracts especially with APG

I think VA will sit back and watch for a while
