Parking at an Airport in Australia

Aviation history in Australia can be dated all the way back to the 1920s. Now the country has around 613 airports; including international/domestic travel, private airports, and military airports. The country is a major hub for welcoming millions of travellers, with major airports like Sydney Airport, Brisbane Airport and Melbourne Airport. To read more about the airports that we offer on our site, keep on reading;

Adelaide Airport:
The history of Adelaide Airport can be dated back to when the Commonwealth Government owned the aerodrome. But serious development was first seen in 1947, with commercial flights being introduced in 1954. International flights were then later introduced in 1982. The airport is now a major hub for domestic and international travel, as it welcomes around 8.5 million passengers each year. If you are flying from this airport anytime soon and would like to park your car, we recommend already looking and booking a parking space. This ensures you save time and money, as well as getting the perfect parking spot. Perhaps, the most popular and highest rated parking provider for Adelaide is Andrew’s Airport Parking.

Ballina Airport:
34 years ago the Ballina Council used the money they had received from other commercial land to start the construction of the airport. However, it wasn’t until 2005 that the airport was officially named Ballina Airport, in an attempt to attract more potential travellers.

Brisbane Airport:
The very first usage of Brisbane Airport was for a landing field in the year 1922. Shortly after this it was transformed to be ‘Eagle Farm Aerodrome’. Where it received operations from Qantas. So if you are asking when did it become Brisbane Airport? The answer is the 1970/80s as a search was first conducted to find the perfect site for a large airport in the 1970s. And then officially in 1988 it was established to be Brisbane Airport. The airport is now the largest airport (in terms of land area) and welcomes over 22 million people each year. So it is definitely recommended to book parking in advance!

Melbourne Airport:
Melbourne Airport started as simple grassland, until the land was bought by the government with the main purpose of turning it into an airport. It is perhaps one of the newer airports in the country as it was officially built in 1970, making it only 52 years old. The airport also used to be called Tullamarine Airport before being renamed to Melbourne International Airport.

Sydney Airport:
Sydney Airport is well known to be one of the longest continuously operated commercial airports in the whole world, as first official flights left the ground in 1911. Impressively, the airport already had three runways by 1949. Major renovations still had to be conducted, and so the airport went through major upgrading. Until 1970, when the brand new terminal was opened by Queen Elizabeth II. Ever since the airport has continued to work on always improving the grounds and terminals. Importantly so, as the airport was used by almost 44.5 million passengers in just 2018 alone.
