Brewarrina Airport is a small airport located west southwest of Brewarrina, New South Wales, Australia.
The Bureau of Meteorology maintains a doppler weather radar site at the airport, which was built in 2020 to address gaps in weather services in western New South Wales.
Accidents and incidents On 20 January 2000, two gunmen robbed a Piper PA-31 Navajo that had just landed at the airport. The aircraft was operating a regular bank courier service that delivered cash to Brewarrina. On arrival at the airport, the gunmen drove to the plane and ordered the pilot to get out, handcuffing him to a fence along with two female couriers. They unsuccessfully attempted to restart the aircraft, before taking a number of parcels and fleeing in a car. Police located the vehicle burned-out but the two men, who made off with less than $1000, were never found.
