Located approximately 8 km from the city centre, within the North Canberra district, it is the eighth-busiest airport in Australia.

  Canberra Airport handled 3,217,391 passengers in the 2018-19 financial year. Major redevelopment work completed in 2013 included the demolition of the old terminal, replacing it with a new facility designed to handle up to 8 million passengers annually.
  In addition to serving airline traffic, the airport is also the only public general aviation facility within the Australian Capital Territory.
