The Tropical Gateway. Cairns is a thriving coastal tourist mecca not only for Australians, but tourists from all over the globe. This makes Cairns International Airport very busy in terms of airline traffic, as well as the many tourist operators who run sightseeing flights from the GA and commercial apron. Jarrad Marshall is the developer working his magic on YBCS, with the level of accuracy we've come to expect from him.
Not only is the airport represented in enormous detail (using stunning 7cm/pixel ground imagery), the entire city of Cairns including the major hotels, marina, foreshore and other POIs are also modeled on 30cm imagery to create a simply wonderful approach to the airport from the south.
Perfectly blended into the popular AU GREEN region, this airport will be yet another jewel in the expanding Orbx crown of internationals.
