There is also a pleasant bar and café (Nakamura’s) which is open all hours that the airport operates, and a gift shop where transiting passengers can purchase some of Broome’s famed pearls.

Your Destination Airport

Kununurra Airport (KNX)

Arriving in: There is only one main terminal that services all incoming flights to KNX.

Though KNX Airport underwent an expansion, this is still a very tiny regional airport. It does have a café where you can pick up refreshments, but otherwise the facilities are very few. However, it is a breezy distance from town, situated a mere 2.5km outside of the town centre.

Transport

There are a few taxi companies that service the airport; these are the Kununurra Taxi Service, Yellow Taxis and Burt Taxi Service. For a speedy pick-up it’s best to call ahead.

For car hire, you can go to the desks located within the terminal on arrival, though we strongly recommended that you book in advance, especially during Kununurra’s peak season (May-September). This can be done through the Visitor Centre of the area, or with our easy-to-use car hire search tool. 

Do you need a form of identification?

Though this is a domestic flight, you must carry photo identification with you. This can be a social security card, a driver’s license or your passport. Please note: if you are an international traveller flying within Australia, it is recommended that you use your passport as your primary form of identification.

How long should you leave to get to the airport?

As this is a domestic flight departing and arriving in domestic terminals, it is recommended that you check in at least 45-60 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Please be aware that if you are travelling in a group, or are going on to a connecting flight, that you arrive 90-120 minutes before departure time. 

Things you need to know

Time difference: None.

Weather: Kununurra is in Australia’s deep north, and as such its temperatures are high throughout the year. May through to August is the busiest season, because it is dry, expect temperatures to soar to 33°C during this time of year. November through to March can be a fairly unpleasant time to visit because the wet season drives up the humidity and the temperatures. You can encounter highs of up to 38°C during this period, and if you are touring the Kimberly Region, this is a season best avoided.

Towns and cities in Western Australia tend to be a little more expensive than the rest of the country due to import costs. A meal for two people at a mid-range restaurant can cost around $100 in this part of the country.
