Singapore Airlines to launch new Sydney route in November 2026

Singapore Airlines (SIA) is set to introduce daily non-stop flights between Singapore and the newly established Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport starting 23 November 2026, pending regulatory approvals. The service will utilise the Airbus A350-900 medium-haul aircraft, offering 40 Business Class and 263 Economy Class seats.

The inaugural flight, SQ201, will depart Singapore at 1130hrs local time, arriving in Western Sydney at 2220hrs. The return flight, SQ202, will leave Western Sydney at 2355hrs, reaching Singapore at 0505hrs the following day. This new service complements SIA’s existing four-times-daily flights to Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, increasing the airline’s total daily flights to Sydney to five.

This expansion marks SIA’s commitment to the Australian market, where it will serve eight destinations, including Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin, Melbourne, Perth, and both Sydney airports. Scoot, SIA’s low-cost subsidiary, will continue to operate flights to Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney Kingsford Smith.

Dai Haoyu, SIA’s Senior Vice President of Marketing Planning, stated, “Singapore Airlines’ services to Australia’s newest gateway at Western Sydney will deliver more choice and strengthen connectivity to this popular destination for our customers.”

Simon Hickey, CEO of Western Sydney International Airport, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting the benefits of the airport’s 24-hour capacity and SIA’s extensive global network.

Tickets for the new route will be available from 25 March 2026 through SIA’s distribution channels.
