Port Augusta Airport (IATA: PUG, ICAO: YPAG) is an airport located 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) west of[2] Port Augusta, South Australia.
The airport serves as a gateway to the city of Port Augusta, as well as isolated mineral projects in the north of the state. Other operations include a base for the Royal Flying Doctor Service which maintains administrative, engineering and hangar facilities for the Pilatus PC-12 fleet at the airport. The majority of traffic at the airport are general aviation related movements, and the Port Augusta Aero Club is also located here. The airfield has previously supported charter operations using larger jets such as the Fokker 100 and British Aerospace 146 under a concession by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, however these operations are no longer permitted due to apron constraints and jet blast clearances.[3][needs update]
In September 2017, Rex Airlines commenced operating a thrice weekly service from Adelaide and Coober Pedy with a Saab 340 after Sharp Airlines withdrew from the route.[4] Until its cessation in 2005, Airlines of South Australia served the airport.[5][6]
