Leinster Airport
Leinster Airport serves the mining settlement of Leinster in the northern Goldfields region of Western Australia, in the remote interior of the state. At an elevation of about 1,631 feet, it has a single asphalt runway near 5,906 feet, tied closely to the nickel-mining operations that sustain the community. Leinster is a company town deep in the outback, far from any city, where the airport supports fly-in, fly-out worker movements as well as general access. In a vast, arid region with long distances between settlements, air links are essential. The LER code identifies this field, serving an isolated mining community in the Western Australian Goldfields.
