A $10 million expansion of Townsville Airport has kicked off with early demolition works beginning on an upgrade that will provide 18,000 square metres of extra parking space for large aircraft.
The Palaszczuk Government are supporting the airport to expand by co-investing $9 million from the Catalyst Infrastructure Program, together with $1 million from Townsville Airport, because we know how important this investment is for North Queensland.
The expansion will increase the airport’s ability to facilitate jet aircraft by 33 per cent at peak times, and provide for overflow parking for the airport services precinct. It will also support expected uplift in FIFO operations, the recently announced Air Niugini and Tigerair services, and benefit commercial airline operations and aircraft awaiting maintenance works.
