Townsville Airport is the main airport for Townsville and much of North Queensland. It carries the IATA code TSV and the ICAO code YBTL. Officially opened in 1939, it is a joint civilian and military airfield, sharing its runways with RAAF Base Townsville. The Royal Flying Doctor Service also has a Queensland base here.
The airport sits in the suburb of Garbutt, about 4 km west of the Townsville city centre. Because it is so close, a taxi ride into the CBD is usually brief.
One integrated terminal serves all passengers. It is split into a northern concourse used for domestic flights and a southern concourse built for international services. Boarding is by aerobridge at some gates and across the tarmac at others.
Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the terminal. You will also find cafés, shops and car hire counters, which are useful if you are heading further into the region.
Scheduled flights from TSV are domestic, with services by airlines including Qantas and QantasLink, Virgin Australia, Jetstar, Rex Airlines and Alliance Airlines. Brisbane is the main route, and there are also flights to cities such as Sydney and Melbourne, plus regional destinations in Queensland. Timetables change, so check the current schedule for your route.
The Strand, Townsville's beachfront promenade, is a relaxed place to start. Castle Hill rises above the city with lookouts over the coast. Magnetic Island is a short ferry ride away, and the city is also a base for trips out to the Great Barrier Reef.
North Queensland's wet season brings heavy rain and storms in the warmer months, so keep an eye on flight updates. If you plan to catch the ferry to Magnetic Island, book the shuttle in advance to line up with your sailing. You may see military aircraft on the airfield, as the runways are shared with the RAAF.
