Cairns Airport is the second busiest regional centre in Australia and following many years of passenger growth the redevelopment of the domestic terminal was needed. The redevelopment project was carried out over nine separable portions, whilst keeping the airport fully operational

Hutchinson Builders engaged VAE Group to complete the Mechanical Services and Building Management System (BMS) upgrades on the $29.4M T2 Domestic Terminal upgrade.

The upgraded terminal provides a wide range of customer experience improvements with the departure’s hall boosting capacity with additional seating and an improved layout, simplifying navigation of the terminal for passengers. An additional 2,000 square meters of dining and retail options have also been devoted to showcasing the best of Tropical North Queensland to the world. 

The mechanical services upgrades were delivered by VAE’s Cairns Branch office working with the local Cairns Hutchies team. Our ongoing commitment to the Far North Queensland community and local employment was key in VAE being awarded this project
