About Henbury Airport
Henbury Airport is a small outback airfield serving Henbury Station in the southern Northern Territory, about 130 km southwest of Alice Springs. It supports cattle station logistics, charter flights and the Royal Flying Doctor Service rather than scheduled commercial passenger services.
The facility has a single unsealed runway of about 1,000 metres and a small aircraft parking apron, with no formal passenger terminal building. Operations are generally limited to light aircraft, visual flight rules and daylight hours, and the strip can be affected by wet weather between November and April.
Access is by private charter, usually from Alice Springs, and by pre-arranged road transport along the Stuart Highway and unsealed outback tracks. The airfield is a useful entry point for the nearby Henbury Meteorites Conservation Reserve and the wider Central Australian desert.
Because passenger amenities are minimal, visitors should plan ahead and carry water, supplies and reliable communication equipment. For most travelers, the nearest commercial airport and services are at Alice Springs, roughly 110 to 130 km to the northeast.
