Canberra International Airport , now trading as Canberra Airport, is the airport serving Australia's capital city, Canberra, the nearby city of Queanbeyan, NSW and the surrounding regional area of South-Eastern New South Wales. Located at the eastern edge of North Canberra, it is the 8th busiest airport in Australia. Until the airline's collapse in 2013, the airport was the main base for Brindabella Airlines. Although the airport is designated by the Australian Government as an "Designated International Airport" there are no current scheduled international flights, only ad hoc and charter flights operate. Air Pacific briefly offered a service to Fiji for six months in 2004.〔(''The Hub Newsletter'' ), Issue 24, 2004 -Issue 24 is no longer available on-line.〕〔Canberra is designated by the (Australian Government) Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government as a "Designated International Airport". (The categories of international airports are explained under the sub-heading ("International Airports" ).)〕 Canberra Airport is managed and operated by the Canberra Airport Group Pty Ltd. The airport serves flights to the capital cities of Australia, to Newcastle and to the Gold Coast. Canberra Airport handled 3,240,848 passengers in financial year 2011.〔〔1 July to 30 June〕 Since 2009, Canberra Airport's old Main Terminal has been replaced in a major redevelopment set for completion in November 2013. The southern concourse of the new terminal was completed in November 2010, and the western concourse opened in March 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canberra's new terminal )〕 ==Location== The airport is located at the intersection of Canberra's main east-west artery (Parkes Way/Pialligo Avenue) and eastern ring road (Monaro Highway/Majura Road) near the semi-rural suburb of Pialligo about an 8 minutes drive from the city centre, 15 minutes from Gungahlin and 10 minutes from Queanbeyan at non-peak times; travel times can sometimes be much longer at peak times due to traffic congestion. The land is currently divided into four areas: *The passenger terminal and general aviation facility are on the western side of the main runway. *The Brindabella Business Park is adjacent to the passenger terminal.〔(Brindabella Business Park ), brindabellabusinesspark.com.au〕 *The ex-air force base area, called Fairbairn, is on the eastern side of the main runway. Fairbairn is home to No. 34 Squadron RAAF, which is responsible for the operations of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) VIP transport aircraft and the area is regularly used by visiting heads of state and military aircraft in transit. *A retail and mixed use section on Majura Road which has been named Majura Park.〔(Majura Park ) (retail precinct), majurapark.com.au〕 Located in Majura Park are Costco, a small shopping centre and some office buildings. An Ikea store is currently under construction in the area. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canberra International Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
