## Description

Serving as the aviation anchor of the Central West and a springboard to outback New South Wales, Dubbo City Regional Airport (DBO) ranks among Australia's busiest regional fields, placed around 34th nationally in 2018/19. Located 5 km north-west of the city on the Mitchell Highway, it runs 24 hours with no curfew and is served by Rex, QantasLink, Link Airways and Air Link, with routes to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne as well as outback towns such as Broken Hill, Walgett and Lightning Ridge. The airport matters to logistics beyond passengers: alongside belly freight on scheduled services, Air Link distributes consignments to remote western NSW communities, making DBO a regional distribution point. Heavier and schedulable freight bound for the coast still moves through Sydney, roughly 390 km east. A Royal Flying Doctor Service base and general-aviation training operations share the field. Dubbo is widely known as the gateway to Taronga Western Plains Zoo.
