Bendigo

Bendigo Airport (BXG), opened in the 1930s, is a small regional airport serving Bendigo and central Victoria with a single terminal and a handful of short runways; it plays an important role for general aviation, charter services and flight training rather than as a major commercial hub. Located about 13 km east of Bendigo CBD, the airport is easiest to reach by car, taxi or rideshare, with V/Line train and bus links into town for onward transfers; Melbourne is roughly 1.5–2 hours away by road or rail. Fares and airport charges tend to be affordable for regional travelers, and the field hosts local charter operators and flying schools rather than major airline bases.
