Remote outback gateway serving the Nullarbor Plain region.

Location
Forrest, Australia
Forrest Airport (IATA: FOS, ICAO: YFRT) is a small regional airport located in the remote Nullarbor Plain of Western Australia, near the tiny settlement of Forrest. The airport serves as a vital link for this sparsely populated area, situated roughly midway along the Indian Pacific railway line between Kalgoorlie and Port Augusta. The airport is primarily used for general aviation, emergency services, and occasional charter flights rather than scheduled commercial passenger services. Its strategic location on the Nullarbor makes it a useful refueling and emergency stop for light aircraft crossing the vast Australian outback.
