An historic new chapter for Australian aviation. Today, new flight paths across Sydney come into effect as Western Sydney International Airport prepares to welcome its first cargo flights. This milestone marks one of the most significant airspace transformations in Australia's aviation history. Over several years, Airservices has worked alongside government, industry, communities and aviation experts to design a safe and efficient airspace system that supports Sydney's growing aviation network. More than 8,400 community submissions helped inform the flight paths now being introduced. This is also the beginning of a new era in air traffic management. Western Sydney International will become Australia's first airport to operate using a Digital Aerodrome Service system, with 25 high-definition cameras providing real-time aerodrome views to controllers at our Remote Tower Centre in Eastern Creek. From advanced air traffic management to our fire fighting capability, our people, technology and infrastructure are ready to support the safe operation of Australia's first major greenfield airport in decades. Thank you to the many people, communities and organisations who have helped make this achievement possible.
