Mildura Airport


Mildura Airport is located southwest of Mildura, Victoria, Australia. It is the busiest regional airport in Victoria, the 32nd busiest Australian airport and has twice been named Australia's Rural Airport of the Year.
During World War II it was taken over by the Royal Australian Air Force as RAAF Base Mildura. From 1961 to 1976, Australia and the United States Atomic Energy Commission agreed to conduct "Project HIBAL" Upper Atmosphere Sampling at Mildura Airport.
In 1967 the Airport was used to launch balloons for the French National Center for Scientific Research.
QantasLink and Regional Express offer scheduled air services. Virgin Australia began the first scheduled jet service from 13 October 2008. It is also home to Cobden Air and the Mildura Aero Club.
Its terminal facilities underwent renovation in September 2012, a $6.4 million revamp by builders Mossop Construction + Interiors. This was completed to modernise the airport, as well as increase its passenger handling capabilities to support future air travel growth.
