TAF and METAR for YPKA Karratha
-
Karratha is a very busy heliport for offshore oil and gas support. There are often 12-16 departures from one operator alone, with three other helicopter companies operating daily flights as well.
There is a large amount of Regular Public Transport traffic daily with multiple flights by both Qantas and Virgin Airlines and Nexus as well as many other general aviation flights.
Based on this quantity of traffic, why are the TAF and METAR reports for Karratha not available?
Please rectify this. -
@gfonternel HI, we take these data from aviationweather.gov. So it depends on this source.

According to metar-taf.com"...Karratha Airport does not publish a METAR..."
-
Further investigation... in
http://www.bom.gov.au/aviation/forecasts/taf/
Australian Bureau of Meteorology
you can find metar and taf for Karratha airport.
My personal opinion is that metar and taf for Karratha (YPKA) are not in international dissemination by BoM, so do not exist in aviationweather.gov database.
