About Port Augusta Airport
Port Augusta Airport, also known as Laurie Wallis Aerodrome, is the regional airport serving Port Augusta, South Australia. It sits at the head of Spencer Gulf and acts as a practical gateway to the Flinders Ranges, the Stuart Highway and the northern outback, while supporting fly-in fly-out travel for the region's mining and energy sectors.
The airport operates from a single passenger terminal that was rebuilt on the site of the former facility and officially opened in February 2015. The compact terminal provides an air-conditioned passenger lounge, a small café, restrooms and baggage handling areas, and mainly serves regional scheduled flights, charter traffic and fly-in fly-out operations.
Located around 6 km west of the Port Augusta city centre, the airport is a short taxi or car journey from town, with driving times of roughly five to ten minutes depending on conditions. Taxis meet scheduled arrivals, and pre-booked private transfers and rental cars offer onward travel into the Flinders Ranges and beyond.
The airfield also houses a Royal Flying Doctor Service base, adding an important medical and emergency role to the airport's regional transport function. For travellers heading north into outback South Australia, it provides a compact and convenient entry point close to the town's road connections.
