Manners Creek Airport (MFP)

Manners Creek Airport is a small remote aerodrome serving Manners Creek Station, a pastoral lease in the Central Desert Region of the Northern Territory. It lies in the far eastern Northern Territory, close to the Queensland border, and supports station, charter and general aviation access to an isolated outback area.

The airport has a single dirt runway, 18/36, approximately 1,220 metres long, with an elevation of about 185 metres. It operates mainly as a general aviation and private facility rather than a scheduled passenger hub, and it has no public passenger terminal.

The nearest settlement and roadhouse is Tobermorey Station, roughly 20 km to the south on the Plenty Highway route, while Mount Isa and Alice Springs are the main regional centres for longer onward journeys. Access is typically by private vehicle or pre-arranged transfer, with a four-wheel drive often recommended for remote roads.

Because services are limited, travellers using Manners Creek Airport should plan supplies and transport in advance. For station visitors, charter flights and pre-arranged ground transfers, the airstrip provides a practical entry point into this sparsely populated part of the Northern Territory.
