Belmont Airport (IATA: BEO[2], ICAO: YPEC) is an airfield located in the Lake Macquarie suburb of Pelican, 15 km south of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. Scheduled commercial service was provided by regional airline Aeropelican until 2006. Since then, airfield has virtually ceased operations.
Belmont Airport has been taken over by the owners of Warnervale Airport (ICAO: YWVA). The airport is now closed and plans are being made to rip up the tarmac and replace it with a residential area.
