Nestled between the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest, Cairns Airport (YBCS) serves as the main getaway to Tropical North Queensland. Known for its mixture of long haul international wide-bodies, heavy domestic trunk lines, and essential regional FIFO operations across the Outback and Torres Straight, Cairns offers one of the most dynamic flying environments in all of Australia! Join us in the Expert server for a full showcase of North Queensland aviation. Whether you want to haul passengers on a Jetstar A321neo from Sydney, fly a regional Q400 along the coast, or command the skies as IFACT, all pilots and controllers are welcome to join!

You need to be trust level two. I’ve just been accepted, so I decided to create an event. I might push it back a few days though.

All gates are still open! Feel free to request a gate!

Sure! Does the A220 have the AirNuiGini livery? And I believe Port Moresby is AYPY

11

No livery. Yet. Has Callsign
Use generic.

Gate 05 is locked in! :airplane:

Huge thanks to @CanadianNorth for grabbing our first international slot with the Air Niugini A220-300 route in from Port Moresby (AYPY)!

We still have plenty of domestic, regional, and heavy international gates open across Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Drop your aircraft and route preference below to claim yours! :palm_tree:

I sadly am not grade 3 yet but otherwise would have loved to join. what is that massive antonov plane doing there in the photo?

That’s too bad. That Antonov is the AN-124, it regularly visits Queensland on humanitarian missions. I’ve seen it in Brisbane, Cairns, and Rockhampton. How far from Expert are you?

17

I need about 20 more landings but have fulfilled all other requirements.

18

It will only take about 45 minutes to complete that. You have 6 days, I think if you just grind landings for a bit, you’ll make it. I’m gonna go now, but let me know if you’d like to fly a route and I’ll get back to you in a few hours. Good luck!

I’ll take Gate 2 - JQ15 to Osaka
