    Olympic Dam Airport (IATA: OLP[4], ICAO: YOLD) is an airport that serves the Olympic Dam mineinSouth Australia. There have been planned expansions for the airport starting in 2006 and ongoing in 2011. Alliance Airlines operate a public transport service between Olympic Dam and Adelaide.

    General information[edit]

    The airport is located at Olympic Dam, South Australia with the terminal located at 30°29′02.0322″S 136°53′02.7954″E / 30.483897833°S 136.884109833°E / -30.483897833; 136.884109833 (Olympic Dam Airport Terminal) with the local time zone (Australian Central Standard Time (ACST)) of +9:30 hours from UTC.[4] The airport's codes are OLP for FlightStats and IATA, YOLD for ICAO and it does not have an FFA code.[4] Several car rental companies operate from the airport.[5]

    In 2007, there was a near mid-air collision between an Alliance Airlines plane and a charter flight.[6] Flooding in the region in 2010 did not affect the airport.[7]

    2011 expansion proposal[edit]

    Relocation discussions were underway in 2006, with a discussion about either expanding the Olympic Dam airport or building a new one close to Andamooka. The area was set to have 5,000 contractors brought in by BHP.[8] It was planned that the airport would be relocated should the Olympic Dam mine expand to an open-cut configuration.[9] Expansion plans outlined in 2011 included improving the airport to accommodate jets and passenger service.[10] 2011 plans for the airport included making the runway an all-weather one.[11] The planned location was between Roxby Downs and Andamooka.[11] In March 2020, NRW Holdings was awarded a contract to upgrade the airport.[12]
