Oakey Army Aviation Centre

Oakey Army Aviation Centre (YBOK) is a medium airport in Australia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code YBOK or IATA code OKY. It sits in Oceania.

Oakey Army Aviation Centre is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Oakey Army Aviation Centre lies at 1,335 ft elevation.

Local operations run on Australia/Brisbane. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess inventory for YBOK updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

Use this page to compare YBOK against nearby alternatives, browse live empty-leg pricing in both directions, and brief yourself on the runway and elevation profile before you book.

The Defence name for the facility is Swartz Barracks, named for prominent politician, Army Aviation advocate, and ex-POW Sir Reginald Swartz.
