Kambalda Airport (YKBL (KDB)) is a civil aerodrome located approximately 8 kilometers north-west of Kambalda, Western Australia, within the Shire of Coolgardie. It is classified as a small airport, primarily serving the local mining industry, particularly the St Ives Gold Mine, with charter flights for fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) workers.
The airport features one runway, designated 16/34, measuring approximately 1,800 meters (5,906 feet) in length and 30 meters in width. Its surface has been described as gravel, with sealed sections at both ends, and its elevation is around 1,073 feet (327 meters) above mean sea level. Operations at Kambalda Airport require prior permission from the aerodrome operator.
Historically, the airport was mothballed in September 2015 due to a downturn in the resources sector but recommenced chartered flights in November 2020 following renewed mining activity. As of June 2024, there were ongoing negotiations for a 21-year lease to upgrade the facility to accommodate larger aircraft such as Airbus A319s and A320s.
