- Route 3, Spence to CBR Airport via City and Brindabella, is the airport service.
- It runs 05:52 to 22:42, with about 1785 scheduled calls, so it is frequent through the day.
- The headsigns are simply Airport and Spence.
- The stop is named Canberra Airport, about half a kilometre from the runway reference point and at the terminal.
- The route runs through the City interchange, which is the hub of the whole Transport Canberra network including the light rail.
- Route 54, Majura Park Loop via Campbell Park, runs 06:04 to 21:14, serving the business park rather than the terminal.
- Brindabella Business Park sits beside the airport, with stops on Dakota Drive, Catalina Drive and Molonglo Drive.
- The airport is about 7 km east of the city centre, which is very close.

What else is nearby
- Route 54 runs the Majura Park Loop via Campbell Park, 06:04 to 21:14, plus a City to Majura Park variant.

- Brindabella Business Park adjoins the terminal, with stops on Dakota Drive before Beaufighter Street, Catalina Drive before Lancaster Place, and Molonglo Drive.
The geography
- Canberra Airport is about 7 km east of Civic, the city centre. That is unusually close for a capital.
- The terminal was rebuilt in the early 2010s and is one of the newer ones in Australia.
- Sydney is about three hours by road, and coach services run from the city rather than the airport.
Practical notes
- The last bus leaves before eleven at night. Canberra has late arrivals from Melbourne and Brisbane.
- Fares are the standard MyWay fare, with no airport premium.
- Taxis and ride-hail are at the terminal, and the short distance keeps them reasonable.
