Darwin GA Relocation Troubles

Darwin GA in Relocation Battle With Fac

Darwin Airport, which has developed piecemeal over the years has been the subject ofa detailed replanning exercise by the FAG, David Finlayson explains. . . Darwin Airport’s new International terminal facility which became operational in late 1991, was as a result of FAC’s advanced airport management and the exchange of information policy, concerning infrastructure development, financing, marketing, operation and maintenance. Airport capacity continues to be a major factor in the continued economic growth and integration expected within the Northern Territory.
