Moruya Airport — Moruya, Australia

Moruya Airport, coded MYA, serves the town of Moruya on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia. The airport gained significant attention during the catastrophic 2019-2020 Australian bushfire season, when it served as a critical staging point for firefighting aircraft, military transport, and evacuation flights for residents cut off by fires along the coast. Under normal conditions, MYA supports general aviation, regional charter flights, and occasional scheduled commercial services connecting to Sydney or Merimbula. The airport also plays a role in supporting the local economy, including agriculture and tourism tied to the scenic Eurobodalla coastline. MYA's bushfire-era prominence highlighted the strategic value of regional airports in emergency response across rural Australia.
