About Taroom Airport
Taroom Airport is a small certified regional aerodrome serving Taroom and the surrounding Banana Shire in central Queensland. It primarily supports charter flights, private aviation and light aircraft used by the area's agricultural and energy sectors rather than regular scheduled airline services.
The airport is operated by Banana Shire Council and sits about 20 km southeast of the Taroom town centre. It has two unsealed runways of roughly 1,100 metres and a compact terminal with basic passenger facilities.
