Primary Pilbara FIFO/iron-ore gateway with two sealed runways (14/32 primary, 2500m) but no ILS — approaches are VOR/DME/NDB/RNP only, and ATC coverage is AFIS, not a full tower, during set hours only, reverting to non-towered Class G outside them. Certified as an Australian international first-point-of-entry with on-site Border Force and biosecurity, but its scheduled Virgin Australia Denpasar (Bali) passenger route has been suspended since COVID and current RPT service is domestic-only (Perth, Newman, Broome, Geraldton, Karratha), with zero international revenue passengers recorded in FY2024-25.
