Rockhampton Airport

Rockhampton Airport is a major Australian regional airport that services the city of Rockhampton, with flights to the cites of Brisbane, Sydney, Gladstone, Cairns, Townsville, Mackay and Melbourne. Rockhampton Airport handles about 650,000 domestic and approximately 6,000 international passengers travel through the terminal. In 2009, the airport handled 725,000 passengers making it the 16th busiest airport in Australia.

The Rockhampton Airport has been named the 2007 Australian Major Airport of the Year at the prestigious National Awards in recognition of Excellence in Australian Aviation, in Melbourne. The terminal is also serviced by bus and taxi, with regular connections to Rockhampton City and the Capricorn Coast provided by Youngs Bus Service and other local operators. 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.

Rockhampton Airport has the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS), the RACQ Capricorn Helicopter Rescue Service (CHRS) and our on-airport Rescue Fire Fighting Service (ARFF).Three parking options are available for public parking at Rockhampton Airport – Short Term, Premium Long Term and Long Term. There are designated car parks for each area and there is no need to book your vehicle in advance. The 2 minute drop off and pick up zone has been expanded and relocated in the short term car park. You have a 15 minute “grace” period to greet or farewell passengers and loved ones without being charged. The zone was moved due to a mandate from the Office of Transport Security that vehicles cannot be unattended at the front of the terminal. The change in location of the drop off and pick up zone will significantly decrease congestion at peak times and improve the visitor experience to Rockhampton Airport If you’re planning a short stay at the airport (less than one day), the Short Term car park is your best option and is located in the original car park closest to the terminal. The Premium Long Term car park is located close to the terminal and has covered walkways.

Parking is charged on a per day basis. One 'day' is defined as a 24hr period, commencing upon entry to the car park. The Long Term car park is a further distance from the terminal in comparison to the Premium Long Term car park. This is a new car park, which will provide an additional 313 parking spaces. The Short Term, Premium Long Term and Long Term Car Parks will be locked after the last flight of the day and patrolled by a security guard 24 hours a day. In addition, we will have CCTV cameras installed at locations throughout all three car parks which can be monitored from the central control room.
