Airport Upgrade.JPG

Armidale Airport is six kilometres from the city centre and is operated by Armidale Regional Council.  It has daily return passenger flights to Brisbane and Sydney, with onward connections to Asia, North America, Europe and throughout Australia.

A $10 million upgrade of Armidale Regional Airport was completed in December 2017, creating a new terminal building with improved check-in, baggage handling, food and beverage and retail facilities, as well as enhanced parking.

Security Screening

Security screening is now in place for all Qantas passengers at the Armidale Regional Airport. All luggage, including checked-in luggage and carry-on items will now go through a thorough screening process before departure.

This will greatly streamline the travel process for those with connecting flights, as passengers will not be required to go through security screening again once they arrive in Sydney or Brisbane. Security screening will also greatly enhance safety for both passengers and airline crews.  

The installation of the specialist security equipment was made possible by a $1.8 million grant from the Australian Government's Aviation and Maritime Safety and Security Program.

Parking

Armidale Regional Airport carpark offers free parking for up to two hours - to assist with pick-up and drop-off, and provide flexibility for those utilising the Airport Conference Room or Cafe.
