A rich aviation heritage.
Although Tamworth Regional Airport was first ready for use in 1956, the city’s original airport held flight training as far back as 1940, with the Royal Australian Air Force conducting flight training for those who would dominate the skies. Fast forward to 1992, the airport became home to a world-class pilot training facility, with every element designed for the optimal flight training experience.
Today, Tamworth Regional Airport is now home to the next generation of professional pilots, boasting accommodation for 224 students, recreational facilities, and wide-open spaces perfect for flight training.
