History
1936 - The Cairns City Council bought 162 hectares of land and built three runways made of cinders, red earth, weathered rock and sand.
1937 - The Australian Government bought the airport during World War II for use by the Royal Australian Air Force. The Main runway was sealed and made longer for the RAAF aircraft.
The airport has direct flights to 7 international and 17 domestic destinations and many general aviation flights including a number of helicopter operators. Flights are operated to all major Australian cities and tourist destinations, regional communities in Far North Queensland, and a number of international destinations in the Asia-Pacific region, with connections to the rest of the world. The airport formed the main base for Australian Airlines prior to its ceasing of operations in June 2006 (the airport remains a major port for parent company Qantas). It is also a base for the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia and the search and rescue helicopters of the Queensland Government. In the 12 months ending 30 June 2019 Cairns Airport had just over 5 million passengers.

Can anyone explain how to get this installed? No matter where I try dropping the unzipped folder it rufuses to show up in MSFS. Community folder, packages folder, contents folder - nothing seems to work. Its a shame because the default Cairns is abysmal.

Large FPS drops on the ground, strange behaviour during taxi with the 739 (it seems you are driving up a steep hill, as you need full trust) and finally (this is the 1 star) Jetways cause colliding with object damage, even with 10m away from jetway...

Great! But the Jetways need to be fixed! It doesn't connect to my Fenix a320.

G'day!
I have absolutely zero lighting at this airport after dark.
Am I missing something?
Cheers.

So far, I've only used the GA apron which is nicely populated with static aircraft. However, it might be better to place the "parking spaces" where there is a free slot so we don't spawn on top of one of the statics when selecting from the world menu.

The jetways on mine are still buried inside the terminal building, anyone else got this issue?

Mine isn't working! Do you have to install the dash 8 aswell in order for this to work?

Do you mean the scenery or just the Dash 8?
You must have the Dash 8 and the Qantas Skin loaded in the Community Folder. All are available on this site.

Thanks so much! Ideal base now to fly out to far north Queensland strips. Wonderful. I wonder if you'd like to give Gove in the NT a go. Nice flight across from YBCS
