Canberra Airport (IATA: CBR, ICAO: YSCB), is the airport serving Australia's capital city, Canberra, the nearby city of Queanbeyan, NSW and the surrounding regional area of South-Eastern New South Wales. Located at the eastern edge of North Canberra, it is the eighth busiest airport in Australia.
The airport serves flights to the state capital cities of Australia, to Newcastle, Gold Coast, Wellington (New Zealand) and Singapore. Canberra Airport handled 3,240,848 passengers in financial year 2011. In 2009 Canberra Airport underwent a major redevelopment in which the old terminal was demolished and in its place a new concourse was constructed which fully opened in 2013.
The airport is located at the intersection of Canberra's main east-west artery (Parkes Way/Pialligo Avenue) and eastern ring road (Monaro Highway/Majura Parkway) near the semi-rural suburb of Pialligo about an 8 minutes drive from the city centre, 15 minutes from Gungahlin and 10 minutes from Queanbeyan at non-peak times; travel times can sometimes be much longer at peak times due to traffic congestion.
The land is currently divided into four areas:
The airport’s controlling entity, is Capital Property Finance Pty Ltd, which had a 2014-15 income of $405 million. The airport is managed and operated by the Canberra Airport Group Pty Ltd. Terry Snow is the airport's executive chairman and his son Stephen Byron is the managing director.
The airport was built up from an old airstrip that was first laid down in the 1920s, not long after the National Capital site was decided. In 1939 it was taken over by the RAAF, with an area leased out for civil aviation.
