Welcome to Australia's highest airport!
Mount Hotham Airport is a regional airport located near the village of Mount Hotham in Victoria, Australia, in the Australian Alps. This little gem in the Victorian Alps sits at an elevation of approximately 1,298 metres (4,260 feet) above sea level.
The airport primarily serves as a gateway to the Mount Hotham ski resort, a popular destination for skiing and snowboarding during the winter months. It provides convenient access to the ski slopes and accommodations in the area.
The airport has a single runway (4,790ft, 1,460m) in length and is mainly used for general aviation, charter flights, business jets, and, in years past, regional domestic carriers. Due to its location in mountainous terrain, Mount Hotham has challenging weather conditions most of the time and is a short hop from Melbourne and Canberra. Flying into YHOT is always enjoyable, but it is advisable to check the windsocks before landing (if you know what we mean!), and if you want to really spice it up, try your luck at landing an Airbus or a Boeing here!
Indie developer Milo has opted for a legacy version of the airport to include the years when domestic and regional services like Qantas and REX graced Mount Hotham. So put on your ski jackets and head to the ski fields of Mount Hotham.
