Whyalla Airport
Whyalla Airport is an airport located southwest of Whyalla, South Australia. Background The Corporation of the City of Whyalla has operated the airport since 1991 when it was handed over by the Australian government. By 2009, the main runway's Pavement Classification Number (PCN) had deteriorated to an 8, which stopped all heavy aircraft, such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, from using the airport.
