Townsville Airport TSVYBTL

Townsville Airport (TSV) is a compact regional gateway for North Queensland, not a major global hub and not an alliance hub for oneworld, Star Alliance or SkyTeam. As of 2026-06-21 its scheduled passenger network is domestic and regional, with direct routes such as Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Darwin and several Queensland regional points. Airlines listed by the airport include Qantas, QantasLink, Jetstar, Virgin Australia, Rex, Airnorth, Alliance and smaller regional operators. Despite the “International” name and past overseas services, current routine passenger flying is primarily domestic. TSV is also a joint civil/defence facility with RAAF Base Townsville, so operations can feel more regional and practical than hub-like.
