## Description

Virgin Australia runs a dedicated cargo facility at Newman, handling belly freight on the airport's roughly 47 weekly Perth services. Owned by the Shire of East Pilbara, the field exists chiefly for fly-in fly-out rotations serving BHP's vast iron-ore operations, moving more than 450,000 passengers a year. Air cargo is modest and regional: mining spares, tooling and urgent consignments rather than scheduled freighters. Shippers needing wide-body capacity or international links route through Perth (PER), reached by RPT flight or via the Great Northern Highway. The airport won Best Small Regional Airport of the Year in 2024 and is upgrading its terminal.
