Airport and Visiting Aircraft
As Whitsunday Airport (Shute Harbour) can be busy with commercial operations, pilots of visiting aircraft are requested to obtain information on the current status and conditions prior to leaving the previous point of departure.
The airport is located in a small valley and has a curved approach and departure from each runway with winds being gusty at times. Aircraft parking instructions will be given to visiting pilots when they call to advise their arrival. Please ensure you have a Tie Down Kit. If you have not been met by airport staff at your aircraft after landing, please call 07 4946 9180 and we will escort you to the main terminal. Please note that all passengers must be escorted by the pilot in command to or from your aircraft.
For the benefit of our neighbours we attempt to restrict early morning take-offs, and if these are necessary please discuss with Airport Management.
