Car Hire Ballarat Airport - Mini guide to Ballarat Airport

BALLARAT AIRPORT

Ballarat airport is not a commercial airport, and is used mainly for the purpose of pilot training. This airport is situated in the city of Ballarat in the Australian state of Victoria. It is situated approximately 8 kilometres from the city and can be reached by making use of the many car hires available in the area. Since this is not a commercial airport, explicit permission is needed for private parties to use this airport.

Ballarat airport consists of 3 runways, of which two are asphalt and one is grass. The two asphalt runways are the most used and their length comes up to around 1265 metres and 1245 metres, while the grass runway is just 568 metres long.

Along with Ballarat airport, The Ballarat Aero Club, MAF- Air services, Field Air, Ballarat Aviation Museum and the Anson Museum are also present here. Initially this airport was used only as a pilot training base. And then later on, with the construction of the tin hangar, it was formalised as an airport and later on went on to establish the Empire Air Training Scheme No.1 Wireless Air Gunners. School. Later on, the Shire of Ballarat became the civil operator in the airport after negotiation with the Department of Interior.

Though the prime concern of the airport is the pilot training offered here, the aerodrome also offers emergency service operations, civil operations and space for certain groups and organisations. But the organisations can use this airport only with prior permission from the airport authorities.

Car hire is available around the area to provide transportation facilities for people visiting Ballarat. The presence of two aviation museums attracts a lot of visitors and tourists to Ballarat airport. The visitors use the car hires to travel around the place, and to travel to and from Ballarat airport.
