Overview
- Dnata supplied inflight catering for WSI’s inaugural domestic flight on Sunday and provided ground handling for the airport’s first international arrival on Monday, establishing live service at the new 24‑hour gateway.
- The company will operate The Rayleigh Lounge when it opens in November, offering a premium hospitality product that highlights locally sourced food and Western Sydney culinary influences.
- Dnata is investing about A$32 million in a 5,000 square metre cargo terminal in WSI’s Cargo Precinct, a facility due to open in December that is designed to scale to handle up to 60,000 tonnes of cargo per year.
- A 3,250 square metre on‑site inflight catering centre is planned to begin operations in 2027 with capacity for roughly three million meals a year, and interim catering is being supplied from Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport.
- The projects are expected to create local jobs — roughly 50 initial cargo roles and more than 200 direct catering jobs over the next decade — and strengthen logistics and passenger service capacity as WSI ramps up operations.
