New road into the Airport
The old entrance via Airport Road from Learmonth Rd is now closed (January 2025) to allow the airport runway extension to be opened.
Entrance to the airport is via Liberator Drive.
Unfortunately, the new road isn’t in Google Maps yet, so Google takes you the long way around the airport. Instead continue along the extension of Liberator Drive.
