About Penneshaw Airport
Penneshaw Airport is a small regional airfield serving Penneshaw and the eastern part of Kangaroo Island in South Australia. Located near the northeastern tip of the Dudley Peninsula, it has a single runway and a modest terminal that mainly supports general aviation, charter flights and emergency services.
Historically, the airport supported light aircraft services linking Penneshaw with Adelaide and other Kangaroo Island locations. Today, most commercial passenger operations on the island use Kingscote Airport, while Penneshaw Airport remains available for private flights, government operations and medical evacuations.
The airport sits about 4 km from Penneshaw township, close to the SeaLink ferry terminal that connects Kangaroo Island with Cape Jervis on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Because airport facilities are limited, visitors are advised to arrange onward transport in advance.
Despite its small scale, the airport provides a useful entry point for charter and general aviation travellers visiting Kangaroo Island's wildlife attractions, national parks and coastal communities.
