Aéroport de Proserpine / Whitsunday Coast (PPP)

Proserpine / Whitsunday Coast Airport (IATA: PPP, ICAO: YBPN) serves as the gateway to Australia’s stunning Whitsunday region, located in Queensland. Established with the primary purpose of providing convenient access to one of the country's most beautiful coastal destinations, the airport has grown significantly since its inception. Initially a modest regional facility, it now accommodates approximately 300,000 passengers annually, reflecting its importance as a vital transport hub for both tourism and the local community.

Situated just 14 kilometers south of Proserpine and around 26 kilometers inland from the popular coastal town of Airlie Beach, the airport offers easy access to the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef. This makes it a preferred arrival point for travelers looking to explore these world-famous natural attractions.

The airport features a single asphalt runway and a modern terminal equipped with essential passenger services. Its operations are overseen by Whitsunday Regional Council, which has continuously invested in upgrades to enhance the traveler experience and accommodate increasing passenger numbers.
