Airport contact
Major FIFO (fly-in fly-out) mining hub for the WA Goldfields region, with scheduled domestic RPT service to Perth on Qantas/QantasLink, Virgin Australia/Virgin Australia Regional Airlines and Alliance Airlines. No ATC tower and no ILS (PAPI plus an NDB provided by Airservices Australia; the 18/36 crosswind strip is a secondary GA-only runway limited to aircraft like King Air/PC-12). No international, customs or immigration facilities. Also hosts a Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) base. Passenger throughput has risen sharply with the FIFO/mining boom: FY2021-22 approx. 299,055, FY2023-24 approx. 422,586, FY2024-25 a record approx. 458,876, with FY2025-26 forecast near 550,000 (H1 already approx. 274,463) amid a council-flagged $75-100m terminal redevelopment. These figures come from City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and media (ABC News) reporting, not BITRE — BITRE confidentiality rules mean it does not publish individual airport-level passenger data for airports this size, so the draft's earlier BITRE attribution was wrong and the pax number itself was well off (previously listed as 374,444, which matches no reported year); treat pax as a fast-moving, non-audited figure.
