Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

you can watch the traffic?

What traffic.

Believe a lot of the early test flights were filmed from the WSI Experience Centre on the northern side of the airport, it's slightly raised to the runways.

Thanks, when I searched there was no loading of WSI. Now working.

Funnily enough when playing around on the OW explorer site it defaults to WSI now but obviously still chooses SYD

Looks like the first test this week is a little delayed and the 330 (VH-EBE delayed on arrival into SYD from HKG) subbed for a 321.

VH-XF5 is seemingly the nominated aircraft

Touchdown Just after 1400 for anyone wanting to watch the YT vid above.. an iconic shot of about five kangaroos watching the aircraft as it continues down the runway a minute later.

I actually wondering with WSI opening, whether it is worth to move all turboprop regional services and Canberra services to WSI, so to leave more flight slots to grow at SYD?

I would imagine more slots at SYD after clearing out all flying doctors, Rex, Qantas link non A220 and FlyPeclican etc, it will allow much more slots for more BKK, SIN, CGK, DPS, HKG, TPE and NRT services which will cater for future demand and growth with migrants, international students and also Australians needing to go home?

The new suburb near WSI can also allow growth for medical, education and other professionals to fly in fly out of regional NSW, which can reduce housing demand in regional cities and resolve regional vacancies.

That would be discriminating against rural people who need to get to the City.

The ~hourly CBR-SYD flights exist primarily for:

1. Business travellers commuting between Canberra and Sydney - most of whom need to go to Sydney CBD
2. Connections beyond SYD, which don't yet exist at WSI.

So, I don't think this would work.
