Royal visit: Tamworth to host Australian Airports Association conference

The Australian Airports Association will host its state division meeting at the recently completed $3.9 million Tamworth Airport facilities this week.

Delegates will also discuss Narrabri Shire Airport's master planning process and Scone Regional Airport's warbird museum.

Almost 40 members from across the state will be attending to talk about the issues that affect the industry, AAA chief executive officer Caroline Wilkie said.

"We are looking forward to a packed agenda this week as members share their insights on how airports across the state are identifying growth opportunities for their regions and planning for the future," she said.

“It is also a fantastic opportunity to make use of Tamworth Airport’s new function facilities, which I am sure will be a great asset for the community in attracting events and meetings to the region.”

It's an exciting opportunity to host industry representatives, Tamworth Regional Council mayor Col Murray said.
