## Description

Touch down at Learmonth and the red Pilbara coast meets the turquoise of Ningaloo Reef — this airport, around 35 kilometres south of Exmouth, is the tourist gateway to one of Australia's great marine World Heritage areas. It shares its runway with a Royal Australian Air Force base, and Qantas links it to Perth for visitors and offshore oil-and-gas workers alike. There is no commercial cargo handling; freight rides in passenger-aircraft holds, with planned air cargo routed through Perth. The terminal is built to withstand the cyclones that regularly track this coast. Bulk regional supply continues to rely on road and sea.
