Airports in Oceania — Complete Guide
Comprehensive directory of airports across Oceania with passenger statistics, IATA codes, and detailed travel guides.
Oceania's aviation market is uniquely shaped by geography — the vast distances between islands and continents make air travel essential rather than optional. Australia's Sydney Kingsford Smith and Melbourne Tullamarine are the region's busiest airports, serving as gateways between Oceania, Asia, and the Americas. Auckland Airport is New Zealand's primary international hub, with Air New Zealand connecting the islands to the world. Qantas, one of the world's oldest airlines, operates ultra-long-haul routes including Sydney-London nonstop via Project Sunrise. The Pacific Islands rely heavily on airlines like Fiji Airways and Air Tahiti Nui for connectivity. Australia's planned Western Sydney Airport, due to open in 2026, will be the country's first major new airport in decades, designed to serve up to 82 million passengers annually.
