First International Flight Takes Off From New Sydney Airport
The first international flight took off Monday from a new, multi-billion-dollar airport in the fast-growing western suburbs of Sydney. After more than four decades of planning, Western Sydney International Airport offers the first alternative to the city's main airport, which has been operating for more than a century, said AFP. An Air New Zealand plane from Auckland landed and soon afterwards flew out of the airport in the morning, launching a three-flights-a-week service to Sydney's largely working-class western suburbs.
