Western Sydney Airport 08 10 2024

Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport (IATA: WSI, ICAO: YSWS) — also known as Sydney West Airport, Western Sydney Airport or Badgerys Creek Airport — is an international airport currently under construction within the suburbs of Luddenham/Badgerys Creek, New South Wales, Australia and a key part of the purpose-built Western Sydney Aerotropolis Plan (WSAP). The site was officially designated by the Federal Government on 15 April 2014, after decades of debate on the location of another airport within Greater Sydney. The airport is planned to have 24-hour and curfew-free operations and will supplement Kingsford Smith Airport, which has reached capacity due to a legislated curfew and flight caps. #airport #dronephotography The first stage of construction on the new airport began on 24 September 2018, and the first stage is expected to be complete and open by January 2026. The Federal Government announced in February 1986 that Badgerys Creek had been chosen as the location for a second major airport for Sydney. The Federal Government then undertook a series of land acquisitions for the site, primarily during the period 1986 to 1991, and spent approximately A$170 million. The resulting site totalled 1,780 hectares (4,400 acres). chapters: 0:00 intro 1:21 terminal airbridges' 2:10 flyover terminal 3:10 business park station 4:17 wide shot terminal overview 4:41 runway 5:25 carpark flyover to terminal 7:04 top-down shot international terminal 7:33 fly through crane's business park 8:15 terminal side shot 9:03 left corner terminal 9:13 airport metro station 10:00 carpark behind domestic terminal 10:32 flyover terminal zoomed in right 12:04 top-down shot terminal front 13:12 outro pull-back shot However, following the purchase, the decision was made by the Government that construction of a third runway at Sydney Airport was more appropriate, and all work on the site was halted. The runway, which was built on reclaimed land, was opened in 1994. Despite the expansion, concerns remained that Kingsford Smith Airport would run out of capacity by 2030, especially since the introduction of strict night flying restrictions in 1995. Planning for a second airport thus began again in earnest in 2008. A 3,200-page joined Federal/NSW study released in 2012 concluded that Badgerys Creek was "clearly the best site for a much-needed second airport for Sydney" and recommended that planning should start. On 15 April 2014, the Federal Government announced that Badgerys Creek would be the site of the Second Sydney Airport. In September 2018, construction works began at the Badgerys Creek Airport site. music: (Audiio)- UNALASKA-FULLCIRLE-SUNRISE TRAVIS-EVERAFTER-OFDIRTANDDUST MUNS-HOME-SOMETHING NEW
