Remote mining gateway in Western Australia's Pilbara region.

Location
Telfer, Australia
Telfer Airport (IATA: TEF, ICAO: YTEF) is a privately operated aerodrome located at the Telfer mine site in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia. It serves primarily as a fly-in fly-out (FIFO) facility supporting the Telfer gold and copper mine, operated by Newcrest Mining. The airport is situated in one of Australia's most remote areas, approximately 1,000 kilometres east of Port Hedland in the Great Sandy Desert. It handles regular charter and scheduled services connecting mine workers to major regional centres. Given its remote location and purpose-built nature, the airport is not open to the general public and operates under strict access controls tied to the mine operation.
Terminals
The airport has basic terminal facilities designed to process FIFO mine workers rather than general public passengers.
Getting to & from
Ground transport at Telfer is limited to mine-operated vehicles transferring workers directly between the airport and the mine site.
Airlines here
Regional airlines including Network Aviation (a Qantas subsidiary) and charter operators provide scheduled FIFO services to Perth and other regional hubs.
