About Greenvale Airport
Greenvale Airport (GVP) is a small regional aerodrome serving the rural town of Greenvale in the Charters Towers Region of North Queensland, Australia. Located about 2 miles (3 km) east of the town on the Gregory Highway, it provides an important air link for a sparsely populated inland area.
The airport mainly supports general aviation, private and charter flights, and medical transport operations such as Royal Flying Doctor Service flights. The town grew around nickel mining and, although the mine closed in the 1990s, the aerodrome remains useful for local farming, cattle and mining activity and regional needs.
Greenvale is about 203 km north of Charters Towers and roughly 235 km north-west of Townsville, the nearest major coastal city and commercial air gateway. Travel by road to Townsville typically takes around 2.5 to 3 hours along the Gregory Developmental Road.
Facilities at the airport are limited, with no commercial terminal, shops or cafés, and operations are generally restricted to daytime visual flight rules. Travellers should plan to be self-sufficient and arrange onward road transport in advance, using Greenvale town for fuel and basic services.
