Car Hire Cooma Airport - Mini guide to Cooma Airport

Cooma Airport car hire

Australians don't need to visit The Alps for a great skiing experience. The Snowy Mountain Region, located in New South Wales, is home to more winter-recreation areas than Austria and Switzerland combined. A single airport serves this mostly rural region, making a hire car a must if you'd like a certain amount of autonomy while visiting.

The best way to reach the Snowy Mountain region is via air, directly to Cooma Airport. With approximately 8,000 inhabitants, Cooma is considered the main town in the region. The Cooma Airport is the only airport that directly accesses the region, convenient for both long winter ski holidays and weekend mini-breaks. Due to its rural location, Cooma Airport mainly functions as a hub for skiers arriving in privately-owned airplanes, providing hangars and basic amenities.

Located about ten minutes south of town, the airport is serviced by one regional airline, and then only during the busiest time of year. Regional Express, commonly called ""Rex,"" makes daily flights to and from Sydney in the wintertime. The Sydney to Cooma air route license is scheduled to expire in March of 2008. Although Rex is the only airline that has shown interest in servicing this route, it has still not made a commitment to keep providing service all year round. Despite its smallish population, residents of Cooma are interested in Rex maintaining the route year-round as it greatly benefits local businesses and frequent travelers. The airport has been successful thus far mainly because Australians are more apt than other nationalities to fly when they travel.

Cooma Airport is a part of the community, featuring art by local artists in the baggage claim area and a steady stream of business despite its small size. Car hires are available at the airport to help get travelers to any of the myriad destinations available in the snowy mountain region.
