Boonah Airfield is a country grass airstrip situated in the picturesque Scenic Rim, just 1 hours drive south west of Brisbane.

​

The airstrip was established in 1978 and it has long been a haven for recreational pilots and aviation enthusiasts. It is the home base of the Flying Tigers Ultralight Club, the Boonah Gliding Club, Airsport Qld flying lessons and Ultimate Aero an aircraft maintenance organisation.

​

Boonah Airfield is also a valuable regional infrastructure asset for the local Boonah community and wider area.  It is used as a base for aerial waterbomber aircraft during bushfires and for medical patient air transport as required.

The airfield contributes to the wider Boonah regional economy by providing technical trade employment to locals and as a significant tourist drawcard.
