Ayers Rock (Connellan) Airport AYQ / YAYE

Sole air gateway to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, ~20 min drive from Uluru; domestic RPT only (Qantas, QantasLink, Jetstar, Virgin Australia) - direct international flights are not approved at this aerodrome, and there is no customs/immigration capability. Single sealed RWY 13/31 (2599 m grooved asphalt) with PAPI/DME/NDB but no ILS; hazardous crosswind/windshear on RWY 13 noted in AIP due to dunes off the northern strip end. CA/GRS is an advisory service, not a control tower, and runs only during scheduled-service hours. Operator rebranded from Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia to Voyages Tourism Australia when Journey Beyond completed its acquisition from the ILSC on 27 Feb 2026 (dropping 'Indigenous' from the name was a condition of sale); still trades as Ayers Rock Airport under the same voyages.com.au contact channel. Note: AIP Australia's YAYE entry, even as of its most current (09 Jul 2026) cycle, still lists the pre-sale operator name, reflecting a publication lag behind the corporate change. Pax figure (345,228) is the verified FY2024-25 BITRE total; no newer full-year figure had been published as of Sep 2026.
