The airport was officially opened in 1940. The terminal was designed by the architect Desmond FitzGerald to represent a great ocean liner and won many awards for its design. Today, although the airport has expanded with new terminal buildings to cope with the demand, the original terminal - now a listed building - is still in operational use.
