Avalon Airport, Commercial airport in Greater Geelong, Australia.
Avalon Airport is a commercial facility in the City of Greater Geelong, Australia, handling domestic and international flights. The runway extends over three kilometers and can accommodate large aircraft such as the Airbus A321 or Boeing 747.
The facility originated in the 1950s on former grazing land acquired by the government for military aircraft production. Since the 1990s, the site has also been used for civilian air traffic and developed into a regional transport node.
The airport serves as an alternative option to larger hubs and is primarily used by travelers heading to western suburbs or regional destinations. The terminal feels compact and functional, with direct pathways between check-in and boarding gates.
Direct buses connect the terminal with Geelong and Melbourne, while taxis and ride services wait outside the exit. The facility lies away from the city, so booking transport ahead of arrival is recommended.
Every two years, a major air show takes place here, drawing professionals and spectators from around the world. The grounds then transform into an exhibition space with flight demonstrations and displays from the aerospace industry.
