The airport has a single compact terminal with basic passenger facilities, including seating, toilets and nearby car parking. Because it is a small regional facility, arrivals and departures are simple, and passengers generally pre-arrange pick-ups or use the local minibus service for the short trip into town.
Winton is known as the birthplace of Qantas and 'Waltzing Matilda', and as Australia's dinosaur capital, making the airport a useful entry point for travellers exploring outback heritage, fossil sites and attractions across the Matilda Way region.
