The Kununurra Airport as it is often called but officially the East Kimberley Regional Airport serves the city of Kununurra in Western Australia. The airport is located 4 km west of the town. A expansion and renovation in 2012 doubled the capacity of the airport, added baggage carousel and improved the check-in area, security and the departure lounge. Although the airport only handles under 100.000 passengers a year it is a crucial part of the local infrastructure as heavy wet seasons often cut off road travel.
