Our Location
Our facility and head office is located at Townsville Airport's Northern Australian Centre of Excellence (NAACEX) precinct, in Queensland Australia.
Townsville offers the flexibility of being a revenue port for all of Australia's major domestic airlines, providing value to operators to facilitate repaints without the expense and network impact of costly ferry flights to
and from a non-revenue port.
With our close proximity to Cairns and Brisbane International airports, we are only a short ferry flight away for our international customers.
RAAF Townsville is the home of the Australian Army's CH-47F Chinook, and AH-64E Apache helicopter fleets. Being a joint user airport, other Australian Defence Force (ADF) services such as the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and other international defence allies can leverage the infrastructure and support available at RAAF Townsville during depot servicing.
