Welcome to the Ballina Byron Gateway Airport, the heart of the Northern Rivers region. The Airport is only 5 minutes from Ballina CBD and under 30 minutes to Byron Bay and Lismore, helping you get to your destination whether it’s for a holiday or business, faster. We are proud to be the gateway to this stunning region of rich natural beauty and cultural diversity. The Northern Rivers is a destination for everyone and boasts some of Australia’s best beaches and great surfing, picturesque rivers and estuaries, rainforests and natural attractions.

There is always a festival or market going on and an abundance of activities to choose from such as hot air ballooning, skydiving, whale watching, scuba diving and snorkelling, sea kayaking or horse riding on the beach. The region is renowned for award winning, major music festivals, arts and cultural events that are held annually and for the eclectic array of cuisines and restaurants dotting the region’s landscape. The airport is a natural gateway to the region. It has recently tripled in size with a new departure lounge, a new café, sports bar, three new shops and more seating and amenities.
