History
In December 1999, construction of a new terminal began.[2]
The airport has undergone a number of upgrades. Stage one of works include the extension of an existing taxiway and installation of new lighting, the construction of a new taxiway, widening of taxiway intersections and the extension of the domestic and international arrivals and departures area. This was to be completed by the end of July 2011.[3] A further upgrade occurred in 2013.[4]
Between 2008 and 2014, passenger movements more than doubled as a result of increased fly-in fly-out activity to the Pilbara during the mining boom. In August 2010, Qantas began operating weekly services from Brisbane and Melbourne with Airbus A320s.[5]
Virgin Australia Regional Airlines previously operated flights to Denpasar which were suspended in 2014, the Denpasar flight resumed on 4 April 2015 and was operated by Virgin Australia.[6] This flight was cancelled during the COVID-19 pandemic however as of 2023 the town council was advocating for this route to be reinstated.[7]
In July 2015, the Town of Port Hedland agreed to lease the airport to AMP Capital (since acquired by Dexus) and Infrastructure Capital Group for 50 years.[8][9][10]
In 2023, a redevelopment of the terminal was completed.[11][12][13]
