About Boulia Airport

Overview

Boulia Airport serves the remote township of Boulia in Queensland's far western region. Located at coordinates -22.913300, 139.899994, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation access to a sparsely populated area of inland Australia, supporting regional transportation and potentially resource sector operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport sits at an elevation of 542 feet mean sea level, which contributes to relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of Queensland's interior. Being in an arid region, pilots can expect significant daytime temperature variations and potential thermal activity that could impact approach and departure characteristics.

Notable Features

The airport features a single asphalt runway (14/32) measuring 4,180 feet in length, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its location in a remote area suggests minimal surrounding terrain obstacles, but pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind conditions due to the runway's orientation.

Approach Considerations

Runway 14/32 provides directional flexibility based on prevailing wind conditions. Given the runway's length and surface type, aircraft performance calculations should account for the airport's elevation and potential temperature extremes common to this inland Australian location.
