[edit] Jandakot Airport

Jandakot is best known for Jandakot Airport located within it. Jandakot Airport serves pilot testing and domestic plane flights. It is the busiest secondary airport in Australia. A popular feature is the cafe that overlooks the runway. The airport was opened in 1963 and has almost perfect weather all year round.

A land development company is keen to redevelop the land occupied by Jandakot Airport in exchange for a new airport more than 70km from many airport customers. Naturally there is stiff opposition from the aviation community. [1].
