Bunbury Airport (BUY/YBUN) is a small general aviation airport serving Bunbury in Western Australia's South West region. Located about 6 km southeast of the city centre, it handles flight training, private and charter aircraft, and emergency services rather than scheduled airline traffic. Its single asphalt runway and relaxed setting make it a useful local base for the nearby coast, Ferguson Valley, and Margaret River region.
