About Windarling Airport

Windarling Airport is a small civil airstrip serving Windarling Mine, an iron ore operation in the Shire of Yilgarn, Western Australia. It mainly supports fly-in fly-out flights and charter services for mining personnel rather than scheduled commercial passenger traffic.

Located about 130 kilometres north of Southern Cross and roughly 450 kilometres east-north-east of Perth, the airport sits in a remote part of the Goldfields region. It has a single sealed runway, 10/28, about 1,850 metres long, suited to light and charter aircraft.

The airport is operated by Yilgarn Iron Pty Ltd and has limited infrastructure, with no customs facilities and no fuel service. Travel to and from the site is usually arranged by the mining operator or charter providers, with road access via regional routes to Southern Cross and Kalgoorlie-Boulder.

Because it is a remote mining airstrip, passenger amenities are basic and advance planning is recommended. Flight connections to Perth are the main link between the mine and the wider region.
