04 Dec Qantas Freight joins Western Sydney International Airport’s new 24hour cargo precinct
Qantas Freight has officially become the first freight airline to operate at Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport’s (WSI) 24-hour Cargo Precinct.
The precinct will increase Sydney’s air cargo capacity by around 33 per cent upon opening and provide dedicated access to nearby freight and logistics centres, with the hub capable of facilitating Qantas’ transformed freighter fleet of new and upgraded Airbus A321 and A330 aircraft.
This new air freight facility will deliver strategic advantages for freight operations particularly with overnight flights which will help ensure parcels and other critical freight can be delivered around Australia as quickly as possible as the Cargo Precinct provides direct connectivity between freighters, the terminal and road transport.
Construction of the precinct – which will include up to 75,000 square metres of total warehousing and be capable of servicing eight wide-body aircraft at any one time – began earlier this year and is on-track for cargo operations to commence in late 2026.
