Trains to and from Cairns International Airport (CNS)

Getting to the airport by train is not possible. Taking a bus is the most convenient way to get from the airport to the train station. Cairns Central, one of our most prominent shopping centers, is located south of the train station.

You can be on the Esplanade and in the heart of Cairns in only five minutes. The train leaves this station in the morning and returns in the late afternoon, taking passengers to and from Kuranda. This station serves long-distance rail travel, as Cairns does not have local train services.

The driving time between Cairns Airport and the city center is only ten minutes). You may get there quickly and painlessly in a rented car, taxi, or airport shuttle bus. The average fare for a taxi ride into the Central Business District is $30.
