The history of Dubbo Airport New South Wales.
Aeroplanes began landing in Dubbo in the 1920s, though it wasn’t until 1935 that land was purchased for an official airport. During World War II, the airport was reconstructed to be a military airport. The airport runway was redone by the Department of Civil Aviation in 1969, and a terminal was opened in 1970. Dubbo City Council accepted ownership of the airport on 1 July 1970. Since then the airport has been used for scheduled, charter, and freight services.
