00:01Flying into Western Sydney's gateway.
00:05About 7.30 this morning, NZ165 became the first international passenger flight from Auckland.
00:12Amongst the elation, there was also confusion for one passenger.
00:17It's fantastic. I got confused. I saw Western Sydney.
00:21I thought it was Western Australia and I'm meant to be in Perth.
00:24But look, it's still pretty fun.
00:26Western Sydney locals there to mark the milestone.
00:29The first international departure soon followed with a return flight.
00:34We want to make a history to travel on the first international flight to New Zealand.
00:39NZ166 took off just after 9am.
00:43We have a huge Kiwi expat community here in Western Sydney.
00:47And so there's tonnes of business, there's tonnes of family ties,
00:50friends across from this region into New Zealand.
00:54So far, five international airlines have signed up to the new airport.
00:58Singapore Airlines will begin next month.
01:01Just over a year, we'll have over 250 different destinations
01:05around Australia and around the world for travellers going through WSI.
01:10Yesterday, the airport opened to domestic passengers.
01:13After coming back from a trip to Melbourne,
01:15today Julie Lundmark and her friend realised they'd mistakenly booked flights into the wrong airport.
01:21We landed here and looked out of the window and had no idea where we were.
01:26And we looked down the maps and we thought to ourselves,
01:30shit, we are a little bit lost.
01:32A return via an unexpected route.
01:35We made some calls, we're trying to get someone here.
01:38Help!
01:39Help!
01:39Help!
01:39Help!
01:39Help!
01:39Help!
01:39Help!
