Karratha Airport — Karratha, Australia

Karratha Airport serves the town of Karratha in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, on the state's northwest coast in an area central to the resources industry. At an elevation of about 29 feet, it has a single asphalt runway near 7,480 feet, handling substantial traffic driven by the mining and energy operations of the Pilbara. Karratha is a hub for the iron ore and gas activity that defines this remote but economically vital corner of Australia, and its airport sees heavy fly-in, fly-out worker movements alongside general travel. The KTA code identifies this busy regional field, one of the key gateways to the Pilbara and its far-flung resource projects.
