INTRODUCING SHELLHARBOUR AIRPORT

Shellharbour City Council has renamed Illawarra Regional Airport to Shellharbour Airport. The updated name better reflects the ownership and locality of one of the city’s most important assets. The new name and logo more accurately capture the airport’s location within the Shellharbour City local government area.

Mayor of Shellharbour City, Councillor Marianne Saliba, is thrilled with the airport’s new identity. To celebrate, the Mayor announced Council is offering free parking at the airport for the next three months. The promotion further encourages travellers who live local to fly local.

“Our community is extremely fortunate to have an airport located within our beautiful city,” Cr Saliba said. “As part of cementing our identity as a rapidly growing tourism and transport hub, it is important our largest assets - including the Shellharbour Marina - promote Shellharbour City as a destination. I know plenty of people from the Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands have enjoyed flying with the airline.”

Fly Corporate provides 32 flights per week direct to Melbourne and Brisbane. In early 2019, Shellharbour City Council secured $15.97 million funding from the NSW Government’s Growing Local Economies program, as part of the Regional Growth Fund, for additions and upgrades to the airport.
