Devonport Airport was originally developed in the 1930s, but officially opened in 1952. The Airport is the largest security-controlled north-west airport and offers 24-hour access, 365 days a year with all-weather facilities.
Catering for passenger, air-freight, flight training and general aviation, the Airport also provides support for air ambulance, rescue helicopters and the police air wing. During bushfire season, the Airport also provides critical resources for aerial fire spotters and bombers.
