RAAF Base Richmond

RAAF Base Richmond (YSRI) is a medium airport in Richmond, NSW, 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.
