 ATTENTION: ROTTNEST ISLAND RUNWAY CLOSURE!!

The airport will be closed to the public and commercial use from 17 July to 14 August 2025
(inclusive) for essential safety upgrades to the runway. This is important maintenance work to
ensure the continued safe operation of the airport for all users

Unfortunately we will not be able to complete any Rottnest Island Runway landings during this time.

We are finalising a Helicopter partner for the period to offer you an Island Air Transport option.

But we WILL be flying our alternate routes during the period, so why not consider a day trip to Leeuwin Estate Winery, Jurien Bay Lobster Shack or Wave Rock?

Skip the long drive and take to the skies for a quick, scenic flight direct to Hyden. In just over an hour, you’ll land near the iconic Wave Rock, ready to explore this striking natural formation and nearby sites like Hippo’s Yawn and Mulka’s Cave.
