Volunteers Test Western Sydney Airport | Sydney News

Western Sydney International Airport is about to open its doors in October, and to ensure a flawless debut, they’re running full-scale trial runs with real volunteers—including retirees Kylie and James Hayden—who simulate every step of the passenger journey. From fake check-ins to baggage collection, these tests help fine-tune systems and staff readiness. Volunteers give honest feedback on everything from stunning timber ceilings and mountain views to glaring issues like missing signage, no travelators on international arrivals, and scarce seating. Airport officials credit these trials as vital for making Australia’s newest major airport—built from scratch in over 50 years—a triumph from day one.
