Rockhampton’s airport will reopen to commercial operators on Monday after its runway was inundated for two weeks.
Qantas and Virgin Blue planes will operate out of the airport from Monday, however Tiger Airways will not resume flights until 29 March.
Queensland Fire and Rescue volunteers are working tirelessly to clean the 2.6km runway and 1.6km section on the tarmac to ensure it is operational by next Monday.
The last aircraft that departed Rockhampton Airport prior to its closure was a Virgin Blue 737 at 1:45pm on 1 January.
