THREE weeks after floodwaters drowned its runway, Rockhampton's airport will reopen.
The last major flight took off on New Year's Day just days before the Fitzroy River was due to peak.
Day time flights will resume at Rockhampton on Monday 8am (AEST) and night flights on Wednesday.
Rockhampton Airport says on its website that all major runway repairs and critical perimeter fencing work have now been completed.
Linemarking of the runways and taxiways will be complete on Sunday, it said.
"Due to extensive flood damage, the secondary runway will remain closed for an extended period," the airport said.
QantasLink spokesman Narendra Kumar said the airline would resume services linking Rockhampton to Brisbane, Cairns, Gladstone, Mackay and Townsville.
"Flights will initially be limited to daytime hours due to runway limitations," he said in a statement.
"This will mean a reduced schedule over two days. However we will operate our larger and faster 74-seat Q400 aircraft on all sectors to provide as many seats as possible."
