Bathurst Airport Guide
Bathurst Airport (ICAO YBTH) sits on PJ Moodie Drive in Raglan, about a 10-minute drive from the centre of Bathurst in the central tablelands of New South Wales. It stands at roughly 742 metres above sea level and is the nearest airport west of Sydney. The field opened as a civil airfield on 14 December 1946, when Prime Minister Ben Chifley performed the opening.
No airline currently flies scheduled passenger services from Bathurst. Rex ended its Sydney service in June 2022, and FlyPelican, which replaced it, withdrew in July 2023. The airport now handles general aviation, charter flights and private aircraft. Travellers who need a scheduled flight are directed to Orange Regional Airport.
Bathurst Regional Council owns, manages and maintains the airport. Two sealed runways serve it: 17/35 at 1,705 metres and 08/26 at 1,318 metres. A grass strip of about 1,140 metres runs alongside 17/35. The main runway lighting is pilot-activated. Jet A-1 and Avgas fuel are available, and private hangars and an aerodrome business park sit on the site.
