"Lots of frustrated passengers"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Flying back to Sydney from Ayers Rock / Yulara airport. On arrival expected it to be busy as two flights leaving close together. Check in - a bit of a wait. Then the fun started! Security queue long and moving at a snails pace. One scanning machine only which was bad enough, but every time a bag (or passenger) had to checked everything stopped dead. Lots of frustrated passengers. Saw a lady in a wheelchair having the underneath examined with a mirror on a stick. My wife swabbed for explosives, and elderly passengers having their luggage turned inside out by the security staff. Would accept this security overkill at a major airport obviously but a small outback airport full of tourists? Really? Thankfully will not be going back there in the foreseeable future.

"There was not enough seating"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Ayers Rock (Uluru) departure. Uluru Airport (Ayers Rock) is also known as Connellian Airport. This airport is a new airport at a new location. Previously it was next to the massive sandstone monolith known as Uluru or Ayers Rock. The old airport was on tribal sacred land and hence the relocation. The new airport is about 20 mins from the township of Yulura. It is a small airport taking in modern short-haul passenger jets. We arrived in good time but our flight was delayed by 60 minutes. The small terminal was getting crowded with passengers for other flights. There was not enough seating and many waiting passengers had to stand. Our plane duly arrived and we departed approximately one hour behind.

Ayers Rock Airport customer review

A small airport serving only 1 main highlight in the Red Centre of Australia - the tourist attraction of Uluru and Kata Tjuta. I arrived by domestic service (I understood some international flights do use this airport) so customs were negligible. The airport is built on the edge of the desert and is surrounded by picturesque desert panorama. Being tourist orientated all sorts of tourist services were available immediately upon retrieval of baggage. A free tourist bus is available for pick up for everyone staying at the huge monopoly of Ayers Rock Resort about 20 minutes away from the airport which unless you are a local that's where you will be.
