Forrest Airport — , Australia

FOS identifies Forrest Airport, an isolated airstrip at Forrest, a tiny settlement along the Trans-Australian Railway in the vast Nullarbor Plain of Western Australia. Once supporting a small aviation weather station community, Forrest today has a minimal permanent population, and the airport mainly serves as an emergency diversion point and refueling stop for aircraft crossing the remote Nullarbor region between the east and west coasts of Australia. Its long runway, disproportionate to local demand, exists partly due to the area's historical role in trans-Australian aviation and its usefulness for aircraft needing a safe landing option amid one of the most sparsely populated stretches of the country.
