Carnarvon Airport is an airport at Carnarvon, Western Australia. The airport is publicly owned, meaning that the local government, Shire of Carnarvon, controls it.
Demand on the route is seasonal with it peaking during the summer season, although generally it is a low traffic route, which shares a flight from Perth to Shark Bay as a stop before departing for Carnarvon. Due to increased demand Rex Airlines charters the use of National Jet Express Q400s on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to manage the demand, rather than using their own Saab 340 aircraft which have lower capacity.
The following airlines have served this airport in the past:
