History
Aeroplanes began landing in Dubbo in the 1920s, though it wasn't until 1935 that land was purchased for an official airport. During World War II, the airport was reconstructed to be a military airport. The airport runway was redone by the Department of Civil Aviation in 1969, and a terminal was opened in 1970. The Dubbo City Council accepted ownership of the airport on 1 July 1970. The airport has been used for scheduled, charter, and freight services since then.
In 1983, Airlines of New South Wales announced that they intended to introduce Fokker F28 Fellowship regional jets on routes to Dubbo. At that time, the Federal Government project that while there would only be a modest increase in the number of aircraft movements between 1985 and 2000, larger aircraft would see the number of passengers handled by the airport in the same period grow from under 70,000 to 103,000.
