Castle Hill to Western Sydney Airport, A New Option for the Hills.

Castle Hill connects to the Badgerys Creek precinct via the M7 Motorway onto the M12, which opened toll-free on 14 March 2026. At around 40km, it's a comparable distance to the current Kingsford Smith run, but without the need to cross the harbour side of the city. Once bookings open, we expect a normal-traffic journey of around 35-45 minutes.

• Roughly 40km via the M7 and the toll-free M12
• Approx 35-45 minutes once bookings open
• An alternative to the Kingsford Smith run for many Hills District flights
• 24/7 availability - Western Sydney Airport is a curfew-free facility

For a lot of Hills District travellers, Western Sydney Airport will come down to which route offers the better flight options once schedules are published.

• Hills District families weighing up WSI against Kingsford Smith depending on their destination
• Norwest Business Park travellers open to a new airport option for domestic routes
• Groups and sports teams needing an 11-seater
• Regular flyers wanting to compare both airports once flights are confirmed

We'd rather be upfront about what's confirmed than promise details the airport operator hasn't finalised.

• No meet-and-greet service inside the terminal - pickup will be at the designated vehicle pickup area once confirmed
• Exact terminal pickup zones will be confirmed as Bradfield finalises operations
• Flight monitoring will be available once bookings open
• We recommend booking ahead for early flights once the route is live
