Non-towered, security-controlled RPT airport on NSW's Mid North Coast; single sealed runway 03/21 (no second/grass runway currently exists, contrary to some third-party listings). QantasLink (Q400) flies Sydney and Brisbane, Rex (Saab 340) serves Sydney, and Eastern Air Services (Beechcraft Super King Air 200), headquartered at Port Macquarie, connects the airport to Lord Howe Island, Newcastle and the Gold Coast. FY2024-25 pax of 190,020 is down from FY2023-24's 226,932 (confirmed via Wikipedia/BITRE-sourced figures) after Rex's mid-2024 voluntary administration cut regional capacity; Rex resumed normal operations in December 2025 following Air T's completed acquisition of the airline.

J.A.S Aircraft Engineering
Aircraft maintenance company based on the airport itself (Keena Place, Port Macquarie Airport NSW 2444) — address independently confirmed across multiple business directories (Cybo, dLook, Yelp, Australian Planet), not just the company's own claim. Company states it services both light general-aviation aircraft and larger commercial types, offering routine inspections through complex repairs at its own hangar facility, which fits base_maintenance (hangar/heavy checks) rather than line_maintenance. Primarily documented for GA/light aircraft; scope for RPT-category airliner base checks is unconfirmed.

Ground Services Port Macquarie
CORRECTED from draft's "Qantas Freight": Qantas Freight's own official Port Macquarie terminal page (freight.qantas.com) names 'Ground Services Port Macquarie' — not Qantas Freight itself — as the on-site Handling agent, with its own dedicated phone and email distinct from Qantas Freight corporate. (The same terminal directory names Aus Flight Handling, with an @ausflight.au contact, as the handling agent at nearby Coffs Harbour and Wagga Wagga, confirming this field reflects real distinct local operators rather than generic filler.) Operates the freight terminal at 99 Boundary Road, airport terminal precinct: freight lodgement/collection on all inbound and outbound Port Macquarie flights, dry-ice-only dangerous goods, CSD or on-terminal screening required (fees apply), no storage — freight must be collected on arrival. Closed Christmas Day.

Certis
Certis Group/Certis Australia recruits and rosters Aviation Screening Officers for Port Macquarie Airport — confirmed via multiple independent job boards (SimplyHired, Jooble, LinkedIn, Workforce Australia, Glassdoor, Jobrapido) all naming Port Macquarie Airport specifically, not just a group-level careers page. Covers X-ray screening, physical/ETD inspection and secure-entry-point screening of passengers, carry-on and checked baggage under CASA aviation-security requirements. Note: certisgroup.com.au redirects to an unrelated Australian building-certification company of the same name — the correct aviation-security entity is reached via certisgroup.com/au/careers.

Aus Flight Handling
Company's own Services page lists Charter Services (meet & greet, flight planning, refuelling coordination, concierge) and Airline Representation (load control, compliance, airport-authority liaison) alongside its scheduled ramp handling; these are stated at company level, not itemised per station, so applicability to GA/charter movements at Port Macquarie specifically is on_request/unconfirmed.
