Western Sydney Airport is closer from Canberra
Western Sydney International (WSI) at Badgerys Creek has passenger flights from Sunday 25 October 2026 and runs 24 hours, with no curfew. It is a different airport from Sydney Airport (Mascot) — your ticket names the one you fly from. Coming up the Hume Motorway, WSI is about 20 km less driving than Sydney Airport, so the fixed fare is lower: $905 rather than $1,010.
