Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

[Be.au]

Now I only just skimmed through this but I note a few pages back someone suggesting general aviation including the flying doctor should be trnsferred to WSI.
The flying doctor. angel caae flights some transplant flights etc should all continue to use SYD because it is central to Sydneys main hospitals. The only major hospital close is Nepean.

Forgive me, I also forgot Liverpool - Liverpool Hospital - Home
Closer and more accessible than Nepean from Badgerys Creek.

Liverpool Hospital is one of the largest hospitals in Australia and is currently the only verified Level 1 Trauma Centre in Sydney.

We are verified as a Level 1 Trauma Centre – the only one current in Sydney – and we have also had the trauma component of the TACS Fellowship approved by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons with 5 years accreditation (Post Fellowship Education and Training Program).

believe airport fees and customs/immi fees will be similar, remember WSI has been built as a full service airport, not a cheap LCC shed.

I would not be surprised if WSI comes out cheaper than SYD - newer airport, more efficient operation etc.

Current airport fees for users have not been published likely because there are commercial in confidence agreements between WSA Ltd and individual airlines - launch discounts etc etc.

I would imagine trauma/ER traffic would not be using fixed wing in the first place, we have these wonderfull pieces of equipment that can land on a postage stamp, the AW139!

Again Depending on traffic it can be quicker from SYD than WSI.
If I were a patient with a complicated Problem there are several Inner Sydney Hospitals that I would rather be in than Liverpool and Nepean.
