Kim Kardashian has finally landed in North Queensland, after it was rumoured she was in Cairns last month.
The reality TV star and business mogul was seen jetting in to Cairns Airport on Saturday morning on ‘Air Kim’ – her personal, fully customised Gulfstream G650.
The Cairns Post reported the star was whisked away by vehicles waiting on the tarmac to Silky Oaks Lodge, the exclusive four-star Daintree resort where Pete Davidson has reportedly been staying since mid-June.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting news of Kardashian’s arrival after a local cafe owner began rumours of the celebrity couple dining in his establishment last month.
While there have been photographs of Davidson posing with fans outside the Timezone arcade, Crystalbrook Flynn, and the Cairns Esplanade, no photos of Kardashian at local hangouts appeared, and the cafe owner had to admit he made the story up.
It is believed Kardashian will spend the weekend with Davidson before flying home to California.
Tourism Tropical North Queensland chief executive Mark Olsen has welcomed Kardashian to the region.

“It certainly has created a lot of interest with expectations rising that one of the Kardashians would finally make it to Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef,” he said.
“It will generate even more interest now. Over the last two years the internet traffic has gone up dramatically as there are so many things people can discover. We hope Kim Kardashian being here will show that.”
Meanwhile, surging fuel prices have done nothing to stop Kardashian flying out to Australia privately, with another Cairns Post article suggesting the 12-hour flight would have cost almost $200,000.
Kardashian first became linked to Davidson in October last year, eight months after she filed for divorce from Kanye.
Just days ago, Davidson said marriage was “100 per cent” on the cards now, and he “can’t wait to have a kid,” on fellow comedian Kevin Hart’s podcast, Hart to Hart.

Kardashian and Davidson aren’t the only celebrity couple currently enjoying the north – Katy Perry is in town with Davidson’s Wizards! co-star Orlando Bloom, with the couple and their daughter spotted at many local attractions and restaurants around Port Douglas.
