Cunderdin Airport (ICAO: YCUN) is located at Cunderdin, Western Australia.
Proposed redevelopment
In February 2017, Western Australia-based Ascent Aviation proposed a $200 million redevelopment of Cunderdin Airport, initially to be used as a diversion airport for Perth Airport, and in the future host a pilot training college and facilities to handle cargo freighters.[2] The proposed redevelopment would see the construction of a 2600m runway with full international landing aids and space for four A380-sized aircraft. It has been proposed as a diversion airport for Perth Airport due to it being approximately in fifteen minutes' flying distance, not being affected by the same weather that would cause a diversion from Perth Airport, and thus being cost-effective to airlines having a closer diversion airfield.[2] In February 2018, it was proposed that Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport would be a better alternative than Cunderdin.[3]
