Currently West Wyalong is not serviced by any scheduled flights, but throughout the airport's history it has been served by many regional airlines. East-West Airlines operated services to Sydney from 1953 until 1975, initially using converted ex-military Lockheed Hudson aircraft, later replaced by the Douglas DC-3[2] and Fokker F27 Friendship. These services were discontinued with the withdrawal of Government subsidy on 30 June 1975.[3]
A number of smaller carriers would later service the West Wyalong – Sydney route, including Country Connection Airlines who provided 11 services per week between 1991 and 2001 using Piper Chieftain aircraft.[3]
Rex Airlines provided twice weekly service to Sydney commencing in March 2005. The airline carried 1,928 passengers in the first six months,[4] but it ceased operating the flights in September 2007.[5]
