About Ceduna Airport

Overview

Ceduna Airport serves the remote western region of South Australia, located near the town of Ceduna on the Great Australian Bight. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 77 feet MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for a sparsely populated coastal area, supporting regional transportation and potentially resource industry operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location suggests variable wind conditions typical of maritime environments. With two runways (11/29 at 5709ft and 17/35 at 3327ft) of different surfaces (asphalt and gravel), pilots have multiple landing options depending on wind direction and aircraft capabilities.

Notable Features

The airport features two distinct runways with different surface compositions, offering operational flexibility for various aircraft types. Its location at -32.130600, 133.710007 places it in a coastal region with potential for rapidly changing meteorological conditions characteristic of southern Australian maritime zones.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will likely depend on prevailing winds, with the longer asphalt runway 11/29 (5709ft) providing more substantial landing capabilities for larger aircraft. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variability and be prepared to utilize either runway based on current meteorological conditions.
