Townsville Airport

08/06/2026

We're delighted to share Townsville Airport is getting a public bus service, linking passengers straight into the heart of the city. 🚌✈️

We've long advocated for a direct public bus connection to and from the airport, working alongside local and state government, as well as Townsville Enterprise (TEL). This is a real win and we commend Adam Baillie MP, Brent Mickelberg MP and the Queensland Government for delivering this important service for the region.

Route 222 will commence on Monday 29 June, operating hourly from 4am to 11pm, seven days a week, linking the airport with The Strand, Breakwater Ferry Terminal, Palmer Street and the Townsville City bus hub.

First and last impressions matter and this service will give people more choice in how they move through our city, in an accessible and convenient way.

Not your average geography lesson. ✈️

Yesterday, the Year 9 Geography students from Kirwan State High School swapped the classroom for the terminal as part of their lesson on transport and connectivity.

From a presentation to an airside and terminal tour, students got a closer look at the important role aviation plays in our region. We’re proud to be supporting the program for the third year running. 🙌
