Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
This airport adds a really good connection point between major hubs where players can send planes, like from Sydney to go to Hong kong, Bankok or Nagoya. This airport would serve a good hub for players wanting to do small-sized aircraft connections between Sydney and Cairns and Cairns to Hong Kong. Currently, the smallest aircraft to fly connections to Sydney is the Airbus A21XLR to Hong Kong or Bangkok. With cairns, we can have small Fokker 100, DHC-8s, Q400 and smaller aircraft size B and C to be able to have more variety.

Unique Features or Challenges
Unique features could be the different landscapes around the airport and the occasional winds from cyclones, and the challenges could be from the wind from the ocean breeze.

Also, is the home of one of the last 2 Short Belfast’s (Other on Display at the RAF museum in Cosford). Currently in the process of being made flyable again too so it would add a really unique type with the airport.

I think that we actually need another airport in Australia/Oceania especially one in that location, It will be a very intresting and good Hub working like a Bridge connecting Asia to Oceania.

Those tiny images don’t do it justice, here’s a bigger one.
With a good view of the near mountains and the river meandering at the airport.
The part with the crossed out runway is being converted to a cargo hub.

A lot of the posts have tiny images and I can only grasp that they’re the small ones Google throws up copied in. Really makes it hard to visualise an airport but then again I think a lot of players already know what airport they have in mind and anything else is irrelevant so probably doesn’t matter lol.

Hi! This is my local airport. I drive past it everyday and have had some of the best memories at this airport, so this would be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING if it got put into the game! Thankyou so much for suggesting and good luck!
