25.01.2022 Attention Western Australians - Welcome to our bubble! The Indian Ocean Territories is now open for you to experience without the requirement to quarantine when you get here or when you return*! Check out below what you can expect from the paradise in your back yard!... (*travellers must have not left WA or IOT in the past 14 days)

21.01.2022 Have you noticed some unusual activity on the runway recently? Are you wondering what those people with the tripods are up to? Meet Cam and Andre. They are currently surveying the movement areas of the airport as part of the planning phase of the Department of Defence airfield upgrade. Cam, Andre and their impressive (and clearly expensive) scanner can plot the contours and levels of our airport with an amazing degree of accuracy. ... There will be additional site investigation works in and around the airport over the next three weeks to help shape the project.

20.01.2022 Flying into Cocos... there’s no better way to start the weekend! Welcome everyone.

17.01.2022 As we get ready to welcome visitors from WA, we would like to remind locals and visitors alike to adhere to social distancing guidelines and maintain good personal hygiene. We are helping you remain safe with clear signage and sanitation stations around our airport.

17.01.2022 There are changes coming on how passengers will pass through our security screening point. New regulations on aviation security have seen the installation of a body scanner at Cocos (Keeling) Islands. This process is slightly different to what has occurred in the past and we ask all outbound passengers to follow the directions of our screening team to ensure a smooth transition to the aircraft. ... Our screeners will also happily answer any questions may have.

08.01.2022 It’s all go on Tuesdays! Always great to see groups of visitors from our neighbours on Christmas Island

05.01.2022 Once upon a time there was more than baggage in the cargo hold of aircraft arriving at our airport. This RAF Avro Vulcan (XM594), a high altitude strategic bomber, is seen here landing on our runway many years ago. This particular aircraft last flew in 1983 and was the second last Vulcan ever made serving with 44SQN of the Royal Air Force. ... It can now be found in the Newark Air Museum in England.

04.01.2022 FLIGHT UPDATE: Due to the ongoing poor weather at Christmas Island, today’s Virgin Australia flight VA1918/1916 has been cancelled. Updated flight information is available at our website (www.cocosislandairport.com.au) when it becomes known.

02.01.2022 Another trip down memory lane with thanks to Cocos As It Was. This time we’re in the 60s with the uniquely looking Blackburn Beverley of the Royal Air Force 34SQN. Based at RAF Seletar in Singapore, the Beverleys served as general transports (including flood relief work in South Vietnam) until their retirement in 1967. ... This Beverley is joined on the ground at Cocos by a pair of RAF Shackleton marine surveillance aircraft.
