The Whitsunday Coast Airport at Proserpine, has been closed this week because of extensive flooding caused by torrential rain falling on the Whitsundays.
Proserpine has received in excess of 500mm of rainfall this week, and the resulting flooding in the region has seen the closure of the Bruce Highway south of Proserpine. This has cut access to the Airport. Airlie Beach is also currently isolated because of the flooding.
All scheduled flights to the Whitsunday Coast Airport on both Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 March were suspended.
UPDATE: The Airport has resumed normal operations on Thursday 30 March, and, weather permitting, should stay open for flights into the weekend.
