Coober Pedy Airport Guide
Coober Pedy Airport lies southwest of the opal-mining town in South Australia's outback, a short drive of about 4 to 5 km. The District Council of Coober Pedy owns the aerodrome and is responsible for its maintenance.
The airport has two runways. The main one, 04/22, is sealed and 1,428 m long. The second, 14/32, is gravel and 829 m long. In 2014 the Civil Aviation Safety Authority raised safety concerns about the narrow sealed runway, which was 18 m wide with gravel edges. The South Australian government then backed a $1.3 million project to widen it to 30 m so scheduled flights could continue.
Rex is the only scheduled airline, flying Saab 340 aircraft to Adelaide, a distance of roughly 750 km. Rex and the council have worked together on the route since 2003. The council says services run up to six days a week. Hire cars and accommodation shuttles meet flights, and the town is otherwise a long road journey from the nearest city.
