Stage 1, opening in 2026, is expected to be able to handle a capacity of up to 10 million annual passengers. Demand for the airport is expected to reach 37 million annual passengers by 2050, which would then require a second parallel runway. The airport is then expected to reach its ultimate capacity of 82 million annual passengers by 2063.
To handle the future growth and capacity, future stages of the airport are expected to include:
Expansion of the terminal building or additional terminals
Second parallel runway (05R/23L) at the southern side of the airport precinct, to be located approximately 1,900 metres (6,200 ft) from the first runway (05L/23R)
This was the second site of the new Shark Bay Airport. Construction began in 1990, and a road and airstrip was cleared. However, it appears that this was never used and rather they would rebuild the airport in 1994 about 15km north, which is closer to the town and the old Denham Airport.
An aerial photograph of this airfield in 1974 is available on Geoscience Australia’s Historical Aerial Photography website. The actual name of this airfield is unconfirmed.
