Portland Airport (IATA: PTJ, ICAO: YPOD) is located within the locality of Cashmore, 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) northwest[1] of Portland, Victoria, Australia. Opened in 1982, the airport is one of only three in the state outside Melbourne to receive regular passenger services, providing an important gateway for southwest Victoria. The airport is home to the Portland Aero Club and is the maintenance base of Sharp Airlines. From 2009 onwards, the Victorian Government contributed funding for works to modernize the airport, including upgrade the airport's aprons, taxiways and terminal building, completed in 2014.[3]
