The Whitsunday Airport is located right in the heart of Airlie Beach, the Whitsundays, Queensland.
74 Island 1 Grand Airshow!!!! To celebrate the official opening of WAVE, Whitsunday Airport held their first airshow attracting around 3000 people. It was a fantastic day with amazing air displays by RAAF Roulettes, Paul Bennet from MaxxGaerobatics, Airlie Skydive, Dwyer Aviation, CHC Helicopters and Whitsunday Tigermoth Adventures. We were able to raise $6000 for CQRescue and RFDS and now look forward to the next one to celebrate the airport's 50th birthday in 2011.
This multi-award winning airport offers visitors and the local community one of the most diverse and sophisticated general aviation airports in Australia.
In conjunction with its 21 tenants, the Whitsunday Airport welcomes over 130,000 passengers per year on tours, transfers and adventure flights.
The Whitsunday Airport is privately owned by Jeffrey Ruddell, an aviation enthusiast who has obtained both his fixed wing and helicopter commercial license.
