2011 expansion proposal
Relocation discussions were underway in 2006, with a discussion about either expanding the Olympic Dam airport or building a new one close to Andamooka. The area was set to have 5,000 contractors brought in by BHP.[5] It was planned that the airport would be relocated should the Olympic Dam mine expand to an open-cut configuration.[6] Expansion plans outlined in 2011 included improving the airport to accommodate jets and passenger service.[7] 2011 plans for the airport included making the runway an all-weather one.[8] The planned location was between Roxby Downs and Andamooka.[8] In March 2020, NRW Holdings was awarded a contract to upgrade the airport.[9] By August 2021, a new, larger runway had been built, and the older one closed and partially demolished.[10]
