About Georgetown Airport
Georgetown Airport is a small regional aerodrome serving Georgetown and the wider Etheridge Shire in Queensland's Gulf Savannah region. It primarily supports private, charter, recreational and emergency aviation rather than scheduled passenger services.
The airport has a single sealed runway (06/24), approximately 1,158 metres long, plus an apron suited to light and medium aircraft. It sits about 2 km southwest of Georgetown township on the Savannah Way corridor between Cairns and the Gulf of Carpentaria.
Located roughly 280 km southwest of Cairns and 270 km southeast of Normanton, the airport provides a practical aviation gateway for outback travel, station access and regional services. Georgetown is reached by road via the Gulf Developmental Road, and onward travel is generally by private vehicle, hire car or pre-arranged transfer.
Although passenger facilities are limited, the sealed strip and fuel supply support light aircraft, charter flights and emergency services. Nearby Georgetown township offers accommodation, fuel, food and supplies for pilots and visitors exploring the Etheridge Shire and surrounding Gulf Savannah country.
