King Island Airport

King Island Airport (KNS), on Tasmania’s King Island, is a small regional airport established in the mid-20th century with a single compact terminal and one paved runway, acting as the island’s primary air link for residents and visitors. The airport is modest in size but important for tourism, the local seafood industry and medevac services, with regular connections to mainland Australia via Regional Express (Rex) and a variety of charter operators. It’s a short drive to Currie and nearby accommodation, with taxis, rental cars and local shuttles available. Fares tend to be affordable on regional carriers, though prices can rise in peak season.
