Hughenden Airport in QLD serves the town of Hughenden. The airport is operated by the local Flinders Shire Council.
In 2014 a restoration of the Hughenden Airport was undertaken. Work included updates to the runway, taxiway and an apron area, as well as full aeronautical ground lighting replacement. The Hughenden Airport Restoration project was a milestone project for the FKG Group, using foam bitumen stabilisation to treat a runway.
Located half-way between Townsville and Mount Isa on the Flinders Highway, North West Queensland, Hughenden is situated on the banks of Queensland’s longest river, the Flinders. Hughenden has a lot to offer travellers, with four national parks, mountainous volcanic basalt country, sweeping black soil plains and rich fossils and dinosaur areas.
