Journey: Cairns Airport to Mossman

Cairns Airport is located in the suburb of Aeroglen on the east coast of Northern Queensland and is Australia’s seventh busiest airport. Mossman is a small rural town in the municipality of the Douglas Shire and has a sparse population of around 1,940 residents. The distance between Cairns Airport and Mossman is approximately 75.6 kilometres with an average journey time of around 1 hour and 7 minutes by car. There are a few other transportation options available including a shuttle and bus services. These options however will see your journey time increase to around 2 hours and 43 minutes.

If you would prefer an option that saves you time and prioritises convenience, then we would recommend a Hughes private airport transfer. Our chauffeur-driven service is a reliable and convenient option on the market that promises both luxury and comfort. Choosing a private transfer with us also affords you the peace of mind of a fixed rate fare. Unlike taxis and ride shares which charge you by the meter and can often leave you surprised by your final reading; our service is predetermined at the time of your booking.

Exploring Cairns Airport

Cairns Airport has two passenger terminals and one single runway with a length of 3156 meters. Flight paths out of Cairns will either offer views of the stunning northern beaches region to the north or the lush rainforest and foliage surrounding central Cairns on the flight path to the south. Cairns Airport is small and easy to navigate but also sufficiently equipped. Both passenger terminals are close by with only a 200-meter walk between them and both offer an array of modern amenities, shopping and food and beverage options.

There are three onsite parking options available including the T1 budget carpark and T2 uncovered carpark each offering up to 10 minutes of free parking. The T2 covered car park is the closest to the terminals and offers premium shaded parking with wider car spaces. If you are being dropped off at Cairns Airport, you will be deposited at the designated express zones, located directly in front of each terminal and a short walk to the entrance.
