About Telfer Airport
Telfer Airport is a remote fly-in fly-out airport located at the Telfer gold-copper mine in the Great Sandy Desert, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. It supports one of Australia's largest mining complexes by carrying charter flights and FIFO workforce movements between Perth and the mine site.
The airport sits roughly 400 km east-south-east of Port Hedland and about 1,300 km north-east of Perth by air. It has a single sealed runway of about 2,000 metres and a compact terminal building set up for efficient handling of mine personnel and supply flights.
Access to the airport is restricted to authorized mine workers, contractors and support flights, with ground transport provided by mine-operated buses and vehicles between the airstrip, accommodation camps and operational areas.
Because of its isolation and desert conditions, the facility is designed for reliable FIFO operations, shift changes and emergency support rather than public passenger travel, making it an important logistical gateway for the Pilbara mining industry.
