✈️ Confused About "Airlie Beach Airport"? Here's What You Need to Know
Many travelers are surprised to find flights labeled as “Airlie Beach” when there’s no actual airport in the town itself. Here's why:

🛫 Hamilton Island Airport (HTI) + Ferry Transfer
Since 2009, flights to Airlie Beach typically land at Hamilton Island Airport (code HTI). From there, passengers take a ferry ride to the mainland:

Fantasea Cruises & Virgin Australia transfers to Shute Harbour.

Jetstar passengers go to Abell Point Marina.

🕒 Travel Time: 45–60 minutes by ferry
🌴 It’s a scenic journey through the islands, but adds extra time.

🚗 Whitsunday Coast Airport (PPP) – Proserpine
Another option is Whitsunday Coast Airport in Proserpine, just 30 minutes by road from Airlie Beach. This mainland airport is serviced by:

Virgin Australia and Jetstar (daily flights from Brisbane).

🕒 Travel Time: 30–35 minutes by road
🚗 It's quicker for direct access to Airlie Beach.

✈️ Whitsunday Airport
Whitsunday Airport (Shute Harbour) is a light aircraft airport and not for commercial flights, so it’s not relevant for most travelers.
