Small general aviation airstrip serving Australia's Jervis Bay Territory.
Location
Jervis Bay Territory, Australia
Jervis Bay Airport (ICAO: YJBY) is a small general aviation airstrip located within the Jervis Bay Territory, a small federal territory on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. It serves primarily private and recreational aircraft rather than scheduled commercial airline services.
The airstrip is situated near the Booderee National Park and supports occasional government, charter, and emergency services flights in and out of the territory. Given the territory's small population and close proximity to larger regional centres, commercial air services are not economically viable here.
The nearest airports offering scheduled regional services are Nowra Airport (YSNW) to the north and Canberra Airport to the west, both of which provide more substantial aviation infrastructure for travellers in the broader region.
Getting to & from
The area is primarily accessible by road via the Princes Highway and local routes connecting to nearby towns such as Nowra.
