About Hooker Creek Airport
Hooker Creek Airport is a small regional airfield serving Lajamanu, a remote Aboriginal community in the Northern Territory's Tanami Desert. It provides an essential air link for the town and surrounding area, supporting charter flights, Royal Flying Doctor Service medical transport and other light aircraft operations.
The airport has a sealed runway and a single basic passenger terminal. Regional charter operator Chartair is the main private carrier, while the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the Royal Australian Air Force also use the airfield for medical, community and support flights.
Located about 1 km northeast of the Lajamanu town centre, the airport is a short drive from the community. The nearest major centre is Katherine, roughly 557 km to the north-east, with Darwin approximately 890 km away; road access can be limited during the wet season, making air transport especially important.
Passenger facilities are basic, with a small waiting area and limited amenities. Travelers should arrange local pick-ups or transfers in advance and confirm booking details with the charter operator before departure.
