It’s wheels down at Glen Innes Airport, with major upgrade works now complete and the runway back in action.

The airport fully reopened this week following essential improvements, including:

Runway rehabilitation on the main bitumen runway

New and upgraded lighting on the main bitumen runway

Improved drainage and reshaping of the main runway to enhance water run-off management

The Mayor and Acting Director of Infrastructure Services were on site yesterday to welcome the Royal Flying Doctor Service NSW / ACT who touched down on the brand new runway. Thanks RFDS and pilot Tim for stopping by!

These improvements will enhance the safety, functionality and resilience of the airport – supporting essential services and future opportunities for Glen Innes and the broader region

This project was jointly funded by the NSW Government’s Severe Weather and Floods Grant, the Infrastructure Betterment Fund, along with the Australian Government’s Regional Airports Program.
