Wittenoom Gorge Airport (ICAO YWIT, IATA WIT) is a former airfield that played a role in Wittenoom's asbestos industry.
It is located in Wittenoom, Pilbara Region, Western Australia.
[1] In March 1945, the airfield was rated “A” class in favour of winds and dry weather.
In 1946, Airlines (WA) and competitor MMA opened up a new route that included Wittenoom along with other cities to carry workers and supplies to the asbestos mining site.
[2] Due to concerns of variations of the routes and subsidies, in 1955, Airlines (WA) and MMA merged forming MacRobertson Miller Airlines LTD.[3][4] Located in the proximity of Wittenoom Gorge Airport, a small cemetery can be found with approximately 8 graves onsite.
