Ararat Airport — Ararat, Australia

Ararat Airport, coded ARY, serves the town of Ararat in the state of Victoria, Australia. The airport's elevation of 1,008 feet is matched by two runways, more than many fields serving so small a population base. Ararat lies in western Victoria not far from Grampians National Park, an area known for hiking trails and dramatic rock formations. General aviation and charter traffic make up most of the activity at ARY rather than scheduled airline service, typical of small country airports throughout regional Victoria. Having two runways gives pilots options depending on wind direction, a practical feature for a field without full-time air traffic control staffing.
