The airport is a major hub for fly-in fly-out service due to the mining boom in the region. It is also a hub for the Goldfields Air Services, which offers chartering and flight lessons, along with the Royal Flying Doctor Service, which uses Kalgoorlie as a hub due to the lack of medical assistance for people in the region, transporting major injuries from Kalgoorlie to Perth.
