We are thrilled to welcome back the Canberra - Coffs Harbour route with Link Airways! Initially launched in September 2022 as a seasonal service, the route proved highly popular with travellers. Link Airways again offers convenient, twice-weekly direct flights, which will operate from January to April 2025 with an attractive launch fare of $309 one-way.

We are proud to have received the Airport Excellence Award for Operations at the 2024 National Airport Industry Awards, hosted by the Australian Airports Association (AAA) this Wednesday in Brisbane.   This award recognises our successful upgrade of the Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System (AVDGS) with the cutting-edge Safedock FleX, a platform that uses lasers and 3D scanning technology to enhance the precision and safety of aircraft docking at Canberra Airport.   A big congratulations to our partners and team of experts for making this operational milestone a reality.

In collaboration with UNSW Canberra Space, we’re showcasing a new exhibit highlighting key research activities from their transdisciplinary team, advancing space safety, security, and sustainability in partnership with industry and government partners. Don’t miss this display, from now until 5 December.

Two weeks ago, in close partnership with Australian Federal Police, ACT Policing and emergency services, we conducted an emergency exercise to enhance our preparedness. These drills are vital in enhancing our readiness and ensuring the safety of everyone who passes through our airport. A special thank you to Qantas for allowing us to use the recently retired Boeing 717 - marking the first time we’ve had a real aircraft for such an exercise. Your support, along with that of all teams and organisations involved, has been invaluable in helping us stay prepared.

Last Saturday, we bid farewell to QantasLink's final commercial Boeing 717 flight, from Sydney to Canberra. Over the past 11 years, the aircraft completed more than 15,000 flights, logged nearly 17,000 flight hours, and carried over a million passengers.
