History

The Naming of the Albany Airport & Terminal

John Bell Terminal: On Saturday, 16 May 1998 the Primary Industry Minister & Member for Stirling (The Hon. Monty House, MLA) named and opened the “John Bell Terminal”  at the Albany Airport.  The Primary Industry Minister said that he was privileged to officially name the John Bell Terminal after the late John Bell.  "The memory of John Bell as a respected aviation identity who contributed significantly to the Albany region will continue with the naming of the new terminal after him," Mr House said.  John Bell was Albany's well known aviator who had originally been a spotter pilot for a whaling company and was also instrumental in having the whaling station turned into a museum. 

The Harry Riggs Albany Regional Airport: On Saturday, 16 May 1998 the Federal Member for Forrest (The Hon. Geoff Prosser, M.P.) officially named the Albany Regional Airport the “The Harry Riggs Albany Regional Airport”.  Mr Harry Riggs, OAM had a real vision for Albany to be a tourist destination and saw the Airport as being one way to support that.  Mr Harry Riggs, OAM was a respected Shire President of the Albany Shire Council and a former Flying Officer who flew Lancaster bombers during WW II for which he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC).
