Western Sydney International Airport issues tender for food & beverage outlets

AUSTRALIA. Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport (WSI) is inviting food & beverage players to tender for restaurants, cafés, bars and fast food outlets at Sydney’s new 24-hour international gateway, which opens in 2026.

WSI will house more than 20 F&B sites across around 2,300sq m of leasable space in the terminal.

Airport CEO Simon Hickey said: “We are rapidly approaching opening day, with the completion of major construction works mere weeks away and our focus shifting to asset testing, live airport trials and commercial operations. It’s an incredible and exhilarating time at WSI.”

He added: “Adding to that excitement is our growing retail and hospitality offering, which I’m delighted to say now includes opportunities for hospitality businesses to join Sydney’s 24-hour airport.”

Hickey said the selection of food & beverage partners would help create a pivotal part of the passenger journey.

“Anyone who’s travelled through an airport would appreciate that once you’ve dropped off your bag and cleared security, you and your loved ones will most often be looking for a place to enjoy food and a drink before you board your flight,” he said.

“We want to create a fantastic experience for our customers so they can relax and enjoy a variety of world-class, all-day dining options that enhance their travels while showcasing the best global and Australian food trends.

“WSI will be a wonderful, new airport experience for all of Greater Sydney, but it’s proudly at home in Western Sydney – one of Australia’s most diverse and fastest growing regions, so we’re also keen to hear from businesses who can help highlight our vibrant home city.”

The tender will close in the second half of 2025. Interested parties can contact retail@wsiariport.com.au for more information.

WSI is on track to open for international, domestic and air cargo services in 2026, and will have initial capacity for up to 10 million passengers a year.
