RAAF Base Richmond

RAAF Base Richmond (YSRI) is a medium airport in Richmond, Australia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code YSRI or IATA code XRH. It sits in Oceania.

RAAF Base Richmond is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.

RAAF Base Richmond sits near sea level at 67 ft.

Local operations run on Australia/Sydney. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess inventory for YSRI 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.

RAAF Base Richmond is a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) military air base located within the City of Hawkesbury, approximately 50 kilometres (31 mi) northwest of the Sydney Central Business District in New South Wales, Australia. Situated between the towns of Windsor and Richmond, the base is the oldest base in New South Wales and the second oldest in Australia. The base is home to the transport headquarters RAAF Air Lift Group, and its major operational formations, Nos. 84 and 86 Wings. The main aircraft type operated at the base is the Lockheed C-130 Hercules. Richmond is a regular venue for air shows and had at times been mooted as a site for Sydney's proposed second international airport.
