Our Vision

Our vision is to develop Canberra Airport as a first-class facility to serve the region's evolving transportation needs and to maximise the Airport's contribution to the region's economy, through:

• providing airport facilities, customer services and amenities appropriate to the character of Australia's capital;
• developing the Airport as a major capital city and regional hub to facilitate Canberra's transport links with major cities and the region, to enhance Canberra's attractiveness for business and tourism;
• establishing a base for a regional airline and a significant aircraft maintenance centre;
• integrating high-speed rail and airport terminal facilities to maximise the benefits of aircraft, Very High Speed Train (VHST), bus and coach services; and
• creating economic impetus for the development of a freight hub, light industrial technology parks and, subject to legislation, specialist tax free trade zones.

The detailed objectives of Canberra Airport are to:

• Ensure the airport is operated and developed in a safe, comfortable, secure and environmentally sustainable manner.
• Develop a culture of excellence based on customer service and value for money.
• Ensure that the design of the airport reflects its role as a gateway to the National Capital.
• Optimise the social and economic benefits of the airport to the Australian Capital Region.
• Provide a business environment that allows the airport and its associated businesses to reach their potential.
• Develop Canberra Airport as a regional multi-modal transport hub for passenger and freight connections.
• Provide the flexibility to handle international operations on a demand basis.
• Adopt best possible technology to improve all-weather utilisation of the airport.
