About Gibb River Airport
Gibb River Airport is a small outback airstrip serving the remote Gibb River locality in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It mainly supports charter and general aviation flights, providing access for tourism, pastoral stations and remote communities along or near the Gibb River Road.
The airport has basic infrastructure rather than a full commercial terminal, with a single unpaved runway and a simple passenger shelter. Scheduled airline services are not the main function of the airport, so most travelers arrive on arranged charter flights or private aircraft.
Located inland in the East Kimberley, the airport is a long distance from the nearest major towns. Kununurra is roughly 255 km to the east and Derby is around 280 km to the southwest, so onward travel requires a 4WD, a pre-arranged vehicle transfer or another charter flight.
Travelers using Gibb River Airport should plan self-sufficiently and confirm access, fuel and support with their operator, as services in the surrounding area are limited.
