The Prime Minister, the Hon Anthony Albanese MP, and I visited Western Sydney Airport (WSA) to announce a major milestone. WSA is now halfway through construction and is expected to open in 2026. Qantas and Jetstar are the first airlines to sign up to operate domestic flights when the airport opens.
This will be a world-class airport that will provide jobs and opportunities for many in our local community. I am glad that this important piece of infrastructure is being delivered by the Albanese Government.
Currently over 3,000 people are working on the construction of the airport, with half of the workers coming from our local community.
