Below is a list of facts and figures pertaining to the Rockhamptn Airport.
About Rockhampton Airport The Rockhampton City Council owns and operates the Rockhampton Airport. Early in 2000 the Airport runway was extended and associated pavements upgraded, resulting in the ability to accommodate unrestricted wide-bodied operations. The Airport is now used by both domestic and international airlines using a mix of wide-bodied aircraft including the B747 to B777 and A340 types. 
It is expected that facilities will be expanded to accommodate a new customs quarantine section for future international flights. With this comes the opportunity of increased tourism. Information regarding flight arrivals and departures should be directed to the relevant airlines, however for any information relating to the Airport, please contact the Airport Management Office on 4936 8314. 
Airport History Efforts to locate a permanent aerodrome site in the city had been proceeding for a number of years in the 1920's. The City Council and the Federal Government, however, could not come to an arrangement as to a suitable site. Prior to 1930, a number of locations within the city had been used for the operation of aircraft, all on a non official basis and none suitable for long term use. In 1929, the lease to a former racecourse, Connor Park, was acquired by a number of aspiring aviators, and they set about making it suitable for aircraft. 
The Rockhampton Aero Club was formed on February 9, 1930, and announced that flying training would commence at the location. The aerodrome was officially opened as Connor Park Aerodrome on March 2, 1930. A few weeks later, the aerodrome was again officially opened as Rockhampton Aerodrome, and the first passenger aircraft, a Fokker monoplane, Star of Cairns, landed. During World War II, facilities at the airport were substantially upgraded. The Commonwealth took over control of the airport, and the Royal Australian Air Force moved in. An Aeradio station was established to enable air ground communication, a facility that survived as a Flight Service Unit until 1992. 
Control Tower facilities were also established. At one stage, work was commenced to allow rapid demolition of the runways if required. In 1987 during upgrade work, the demolition tunnels were located and removed. In February 1989, the Rockhampton City Council was vested with ownership of the airport. With the completion of the AU$8.4m Terminal Redevelopment Project, Rockhampton Airport is now well placed to accommodate future passenger growth.
