Airport Information
Townsville Airport
Townsville Airport is situated on a coastal plain between Rowes Bay and the Bohle River, 5km west of the city centre. The Airport orientation is such that the existing northern end of the main runway is only 1km from the coast, whilst the terminal and administration building area is approximately 2.6km inland.
Townsville Airport is the centre of aviation in the North Queensland region. Townsville Airport operates under a Joint User Agreement with the Department of Defence, with Townsville Airport leasing an area of 81 hectares of the airport for civil aviation purposes. As a joint user facility, the responsibility for planning and development of the Airport is shared by both the Department of Defence and Townsville Airport.
Townsville Airport’s catchment area extends from Tully to the north, Charters Towers to the west, and Bowen to the south. As the regional hub for North Queensland, Townsville is also a key transit and destination port servicing inland cities such as Mount Isa and the mining and residential communities of the Gulf of Carpentaria.
Townsville’s population is young and vibrant. With a large proportion of young singles and families with higher than the national average income, the region is fuelled with energy.
The catchment area draws from a population of around 250,000 with approximately 160,000 people living in the immediate Townsville CBD area.
