(中央社雪梨25日綜合外電報導)澳洲人口最多城市雪梨的新機場「西雪梨國際機場」今天正式開放旅客使用,總理艾班尼斯稱這是雪梨的里程碑。新機場歷經多年規劃,耗資56億澳元(約新台幣1283億元)。
路透社報導,西雪梨國際機場(Western Sydney International Airport)位於雪梨市中心以西約60公里的巴得格瑞(Badgerys Creek),將24小時營運,讓航空公司能服務這個快速成長、族裔多元的人口聚集地。
原本的機場距離雪梨中心商業區較近,但飛機起降時間僅限於上午6時至晚間11時,相較於墨爾本(Melbourne)等澳洲其他主要城市,航空公司的航班安排選擇因而受限。
總理艾班尼斯(Anthony Albanese)在聲明中表示:「澳洲50多年來首度啟用一座大型新機場。這是歷經數十年籌備才實現的里程碑。」
他說:「我非常自豪能宣布機場正式啟用。」
機場方面在聲明中表示,西雪梨國際機場每年可容納超過8000萬人次旅客進出,澳洲航空公司(Qantas)旗下廉價航空捷星航空(Jetstar)預定今天執飛首個離場航班,目的地為黃金海岸(Gold Coast)。
新機場啟動客運航班服務前,貨運航班已於今年7月開始營運。
這座機場占地1780公頃,用地由澳洲聯邦政府在1980年代購入,歷經7年興建與15年規劃,於2025年7月完工。
