About Inverway Airport
Inverway Airport is a small remote aerodrome in the Northern Territory's Victoria River District, serving Inverway Station and the surrounding cattle country. It mainly handles private, charter and pastoral aviation rather than scheduled passenger flights.
The aerodrome lies in the southern Victoria River District, roughly 615 km by road southwest of Katherine and approximately 600 km south-southwest of Darwin. It has a single unsealed runway aligned 13/31, around 1,340 metres long, and sits at an elevation of approximately 408 metres.
Access is by road through the Victoria Highway and Buntine Highway network, with Katherine acting as the main regional service centre. Nearby communities include Kalkarindji (Daguragu), Lajamanu and Timber Creek.
Passenger facilities are minimal, so travellers should confirm fuel, weather and ground transport arrangements in advance. The aerodrome functions as a practical outback airstrip for station and charter operations rather than a commercial airport.
