Moree Airport

The Moree Aero Club has been based at the airport since 1952, and today provides aircraft hire and flight training. The club was instrumental in providing many early improvements to the aerodrome facilities, including hangars and a terminal building.Airport facilitiesMoree airport has two operational runways. The primary runway 01/19 is sealed with an asphalt surface 1613by. This runway is equipped with pilot-operated lighting for night operations. A secondary gravel runway 05/23 is located on the western side of the field and is 977by. The airport does not have a control tower as the typical volume of traffic is not high.

A Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) to the west of the airport is the only navigational aid.
