Its close proximity to Asia makes it geographically closer to go for a holiday in Bali or Singapore than to visit Sydney or Canberra.

With its functional facilities and services, Darwin Airport is easy for passengers to navigate. Terminal A is the only one at Darwin airport, with the convenience of both international and domestic passengers sharing a single terminal. Upon arrival you will find a fast lane drop off area, meaning congestion is kept to a minimum.
