  1. Hi,
    I would love to see an International Airport in Broome to link Australia with Malaysia and Europe. Is the proposed international link still going ahead? Thanks for yor time.
    Cheers, Chris.

    1. Broome Airport is already an international airport and the proposal related to building a dedicated international terminal there. Talks on new international air services were also underway with Singapore Airlines and its subsidiary Silk Air.
      However, this was all contingent on Woodside Energy proceeding with the planned Kimberley gas hub at James Price Point. In April 2013, Woodside announced that it was not proceeding with the gas hub onshore for a variety of reasons.
      Therefore, the following week Broome Airport management announced that the airport project had effectively been rendered non-viable and would not proceed.
