Location

Wiluna, Australia

Wiluna Airport (IATA: WUN, ICAO: YWLU) is a small regional airport located in Wiluna, a remote outback town in the Murchison region of Western Australia. It serves as a vital transport link for a community that is otherwise extremely isolated, situated roughly 950 kilometres northeast of Perth. The airport primarily supports fly-in fly-out (FIFO) mining operations, community transport, Royal Flying Doctor Service movements, and charter flights. Scheduled regional airline services connect Wiluna to Perth and other outback Western Australian destinations. Wiluna itself is one of Australia's most isolated inhabited towns, and the airport plays a critical role in providing access to essential services, medical evacuation, and economic activity related to gold mining operations in the area.
