Over 5,000 vehicles access Cairns Airport every day. Getting our passengers and visitors in and out of the airport in a timely and efficient way is our priority.
To improve safety and reduce congestion, Cairns Airport provides designated ground transport areas for dropping off and picking up passengers at both terminals. These areas include public areas as well designated zones for commercial operators including buses, limousines, ride share and taxis.
Cairns Airport invests significantly to maintain these areas and supporting infrastructure to ensure safe and efficient operations for all users.
