Western Sydney International Airport (WSI) will open its first international lounge in Nov, ahead of Singapore Airlines’ launch of daily non-stop flights between Western Sydney and Singapore on 23 Nov.
The Rayleigh Lounge will be operated by dnata and initially accommodate around 80 passengers, with capacity to expand to approximately 130 seats as demand grows.
Eligible SQ passengers will have access. Travellers flying on other WSI international airline partners will also be able to use the facility as their services commence, adds the airport company.
Located on the terminal’s mezzanine level, the lounge will offer views across the airfield towards the Blue Mountains. Facilities include dedicated lounge and dining areas, a feature bar, open kitchen, fast wifi, integrated charging and three private shower suites.
The food and beverage offering will change throughout the day to cater for the airport’s 24-hour operations, showcasing local produce and Western Sydney’s culinary culture.
WSI ceo Simon Hickey says the lounge is designed to grow alongside the airport and its airline partners as passenger numbers increase.
