History
The first Cairns arrivals took place in 1928 on a sandy runway close to the current airport. A few years later, the people of Cairns raised money for the construction of an airport. A 162 hectares of land was bought to make several buildings and runways. During World War 2 it was put into service by the Royal Australian Air Force. The main runway was paved and extended for use by the RAAF aircraft. After the war, the runway was extended again. The airport was also upgraded by renewing and expanding. The routes increased and with them the passengers. More and more regular scheduled services came to most Australian cities. The first international Cairns airport arrivals came from the airline Air Niugini which had a route from Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea.
In the 1980s, it was announced that further expansion was needed. There were several internships. The first phase was the further extension of the runway and the construction of a new terminal. This was completed in 1984. The second phase was started. This included a fire station, a new separate terminal for international traffic, and a taxiway. This was completed in 1990. In the year 1993, Cathay Pacific started operating flights from Hong Kong. Over the years, more innovations and extensions were made to the terminals and runways.

The first terminal, Terminal 1, is for the Cairns international airport arrivals. Although due to the pandemic the international flights and the use of this terminal is minimal in 2020 and 2021. The second terminal is for domestic transport and there are mainly Cairns airport arrivals from Brisbane and Sydney.
