We are currently experiencing service delays in North West WA, including Port Hedland, Karratha, and Tom Price, due to Tropical Cyclone Zelia. Our Port Hedland and Karratha depots are currently closed and a ‘watch and act’ alert is in place.
The Category 5 cyclone is expected to make landfall between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM AWST, and severe rainfall is expected over the next few days.
AirRoad anticipates delays in these regions and is monitoring the situation to assess the impact on roads and communities. Services from WA to NT will also be affected by these weather conditions.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Please be advised that the upcoming Tropical Cyclone Zelia is currently impacting service in North West WA. The cyclone is expected to cross directly over Port Hedland today. Our local on-forwarder has closed their depot as a precautionary measure until the threat has passed. Our team are currently bunkered down at their homes and we hope they remain safe during this time.
While one of our linehaul units despatched earlier this week is anticipated to arrive in Port Hedland on schedule, consignments despatched from our Perth depot from yesterday (Wednesday, 12 February 2025) onwards will experience delays.
The Port Hedland depot is likely to remain closed tomorrow. We are working towards resuming normal operations on Monday, 17 February 2025.
We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as they become available.
Thank you for your support as always.
