About Finke Airport
Finke Airport is a small remote aerodrome serving Aputula, also known as Finke, an Indigenous community in the far south of Australia's Northern Territory. The airfield supports light aircraft and community air services, providing an important link to one of Central Australia's most isolated settlements.
The airport operates a single dirt runway, 15/33, and has no conventional passenger terminal building. It is used mainly for general aviation and community flights connecting Aputula with Alice Springs and other outback locations.
Aputula lies about 317 km south of Alice Springs and about 159 km east of the Stuart Highway near the Northern Territory–South Australia border. Road access is limited and can be rough, so air access is an important option for the community and visitors.
Travelers should expect basic facilities and are advised to confirm flights, ground transport and local access arrangements in advance. The nearest major service center is Alice Springs.
