Mount Hotham Airport

Mount Hotham Airport (MHU) is a high-altitude airstrip serving the Mount Hotham alpine resort in Victoria, Australia, notable for being one of the highest and most weather-exposed airports in the country. Its elevation and mountainous surroundings make it seasonally important primarily during the Australian ski season, when it handles charter and scheduled flights bringing visitors directly to one of Victoria's premier ski resorts. MHU's operations are highly weather-dependent, with fog, wind, and snow frequently affecting scheduling, reflecting the challenges of alpine aviation. Outside the winter season, traffic drops significantly as the resort area shifts toward summer hiking and mountain biking tourism, making MHU a distinctly seasonal aviation facility.
