Remote outback gateway serving far western New South Wales.

Location

Bourke, Australia

Bourke Airport (IATA: BRK, ICAO: YBKE) is a small regional airport serving the town of Bourke in far western New South Wales, Australia. It sits on the edge of the iconic Australian outback and provides essential air access to a community that is otherwise extremely isolated by road. The airport supports regional passenger services as well as general aviation, charter flights, and emergency medical operations. Given Bourke's remote location, the airport plays a critical role in connecting residents to larger centres such as Sydney and Dubbo. Bourke itself is often described as the 'Gateway to the Outback,' and the airport reflects the town's character as a frontier community in one of Australia's most sparsely populated regions.

Terminals

The airport features a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes typical of a remote regional facility.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options are limited, with taxis and private vehicles being the primary means of reaching Bourke town centre from the airport.
