Paraburdoo Airport — Paraburdoo, Australia

PBO is Paraburdoo Airport, serving the mining town of Paraburdoo in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The airport is heavily used for fly-in fly-out (FIFO) workers employed in the region's massive iron ore mining operations, run largely by companies like Rio Tinto, making PBO an essential piece of infrastructure for Australia's resource export economy. Regular flights connect Paraburdoo to Perth, carrying mine workers on rotational shifts through one of the most remote and economically significant industrial regions in the country. The airport features a sealed runway capable of handling regional jet aircraft despite the town's small permanent population. PBO exemplifies the FIFO aviation model common across the Pilbara's mining towns.
