About Ararat Airport
Ararat Airport is a small regional aerodrome serving Ararat and the surrounding Grampians region of western Victoria. Located about 7 km southwest of Ararat on the Western Highway, it is used mainly for general aviation and gliding rather than scheduled commercial airline services.
The airport is best known as the home of gliding operations in the area, with the Grampians Soaring Club operating from the site. It provides a base for recreational flying, flight training and private aircraft, supported by grass and sealed runways and aircraft parking.
Ararat Airport is connected to the town by the Western Highway, and road travel to central Ararat typically takes only a short time. Private transfers, taxis and rental cars provide onward connections to Ararat, Halls Gap and the Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park.
Although passenger facilities at the airfield itself are limited, its location makes it a practical entry point for aviation visitors exploring Ararat, the Grampians and western Victoria, with accommodation, dining and other services available in the nearby town.
