Airports at each end
Leaving George
George is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is George Airport (GRJ), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,562 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
Arriving in Perth
Perth is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Perth International Airport (PER), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, whose 11,299-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Perth International Airport | PER | 10 km (6 mi) | 11,299 ft | 67 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,372 km (5,202 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
