Rockhampton Airport (Connor Park) (IATA: ROK, ICAO: YBRK) is a major Australian regional airport in West Rockhampton, Queensland that services the city of Rockhampton, with direct flights to various major centres in Queensland, as well as Melbourne in Victoria. Flights have previously operated to the New South Wales capital, but were discontinued due to lack of interest in Sydney. The airport runway has the capability to handle aircraft such as the Airbus A380, Boeing 747 and Boeing 777.
In 2011, the airport handled 701,062 passengers and 12,606 aircraft movements, a drop from the 2010 figure of 777,212 passengers and 14,602 aircraft.[2] The drop is attributed in part to the airport being closed for three weeks in January due to the 2010–2011 Queensland floods.[3]
The Royal Flying Doctor Service has one of its nine Queensland bases at Rockhampton Airport.[4]
