About Gordon Downs Airport

Gordon Downs Airport (GDD) is a small outback aerodrome serving the remote Gordon Downs area in the Shire of Halls Creek, in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia. It mainly supports private, charter and station aviation rather than scheduled airline services.

The airfield sits approximately 110 km southeast of Halls Creek and provides essential access to cattle stations, remote communities and surrounding outback country. Its isolated location means flights are often the most practical way to reach the area during the wet season or when road conditions are difficult.

The facility has a basic general aviation layout with a single landing area and no commercial passenger terminal building. Operations are typically arranged directly with flight operators, and travellers should confirm check-in, baggage and safety requirements before departure.

Onward travel is normally by pre-arranged four-wheel-drive vehicle, station transport or charter road transfer. Distances in the region are long and fuel and services are limited, so travellers should plan transfers, supplies and communications carefully.
