Remote outback gateway serving southwestern Queensland's Channel Country.

Location
Windorah, Australia
Windorah Airport (IATA: WNR, ICAO: YWDH) is a small regional airport serving the remote township of Windorah in southwestern Queensland, Australia. Located in the Channel Country, it provides essential air access to one of Australia's most sparsely populated and geographically isolated regions. The airport supports general aviation, charter flights, and Royal Flying Doctor Service operations, which are critical for medical access in the outback. Windorah itself has a very small permanent population, and the airport plays a vital role in connecting residents, pastoralists, and visitors to larger regional centres. The facility features a sealed runway capable of handling light to medium aircraft. It is managed at the local government level and sees limited but important scheduled and unscheduled traffic throughout the year.
Terminals
The airport has a basic, small terminal facility consistent with remote outback aerodromes serving minimal passenger volumes.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited, with private vehicle or pre-arranged transfers being the primary means of travel between the airport and Windorah township.
Airlines here
