## Description

Some 595 kilometres east of Perth, Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport anchors air access to Australia's richest goldfields and the vast Super Pit open-cut mine. Qantas, Virgin Australia and Rex run multiple daily services to Perth, with seasonal links to Melbourne and Adelaide, carrying the fly-in fly-out workforce that keeps the region's mines running. Freight is genuine but rides mostly in passenger-aircraft holds, supplemented by specialist charter: forwarders such as CargoMaster move urgent spare parts and machinery to active mine sites on same-day and overnight schedules. No scheduled freighters serve the field, so heavy or oversized cargo travels by road along the Great Eastern Highway or feeds through Perth. Menzies Aviation provides ramp and freight handling on the ground, while Goldfields Air Services bases its mine-charter fleet here. International consignments clear customs in Perth rather than locally. The result is a capable regional cargo point specialised in time-critical mining logistics.
