About Kalkgurung Airport
Kalkgurung Airport is a small regional airfield serving the Aboriginal communities of Daguragu and Kalkarindji in the Northern Territory's remote Victoria River District. It is an essential link for passenger travel, mail, healthcare and charter operations across this isolated part of northern Australia.
Located around 460 kilometres southwest of Katherine, the airport sits close to the two communities it serves and provides a base for light aircraft, government charters and Royal Flying Doctor Service flights. Its main sealed runway and shorter gravel cross runway support daylight turboprop operations used across the outback.
The airport has a simple, functional layout with a single sheltered passenger waiting area rather than a large terminal. Because facilities are limited, travellers are advised to confirm flight arrangements in advance and arrange local road transport to Daguragu and Kalkarindji.
Despite its basic facilities, Kalkgurung Airport plays a vital role in connecting the Victoria River District to Katherine, Darwin and other regional centres, supporting essential services and community travel throughout the year.
