Other International Australian airports include Cairns, Darwin and the Gold Coast which are each gateways to significant tourist areas of Australia.

Over 4 million visitors arrive in Australia every year and over half of those visitors arrive at Australia's busiest airport,  Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport.

Hobart and Canberra both have International Australian Airports however neither receive regular tourist flights. Lying mid way between them, Canberra International Airport receives only overflow from Melbourne and Sydney in the cases of bad weather.

Apart from redirected International flights, the Canberra Airport has not received a regular international flight for many years. Most International travellers destined for Canberra normally transit in Sydney or Melbourne.

Hobart International Airport has not had a regular scheduled international passenger service since the 1990s the official name of Hobart International Airport remains.
