Gateway to Western Australia's remote Ningaloo Coast region.
Location
Exmouth, Australia
Exmouth Airport (IATA: EXM, ICAO: YEXM) is a small regional airport serving the town of Exmouth in Western Australia, located near the North West Cape. It provides essential air connectivity for this remote coastal community and supports tourism to the nearby Ningaloo Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The airport handles regional passenger services and general aviation traffic, playing a vital role in linking Exmouth to larger Western Australian cities given the town's isolation.
