Yesterday I attended the Cairns Chamber of Commerce lunch to listen to Ian Maltman, CFO of Cairns Airport, talking about future plans. As the Cairns Post reported today, there was plenty of optimism about the potential of a number of new routes, both international and domestic, coming online in the next few years.
Mark Beath over at Cairnseconomy.com, a regular “airport watcher”, also has a good post today on the positive Cairns Airport data for March.
Things certainly appear to be on the up at Cairns Airport and that can only be very good news for anyone in the tourism industry, and the economy in general, in the Far North.
