Inside the terminal there is a licensed restaurant and the three airlines each have roomy book-in areas. There are a number of car hire companies also operating from the terminal. Nearby there is an Ampol selfserve station, which also offers fast food. Industrial Facilities Council has always been keen to encourage aviation-related industry at the Airport. A number of companies operate from the airport, providing aerial topdressing, aircraft maintenance, helicopter and air charter services to the region.
Additional sites are available under a very attractive lease scheme.
The provision of such a system will help ensure that travellers to and from Armidale are disadvantaged as little as possible due to bad weather. While passenger numbers at present do not warrant the introduction of larger aircraft, necessitating runway extensions, Council believes that an increase in tourism and regional air traffic may necessitate this extension early next century.
