About Marla Airport
Marla Airport is a small regional aerodrome serving Marla and the far north of South Australia. It supports domestic, charter and general aviation traffic and acts as a practical access point for the remote outback town and the surrounding pastoral region.
Located about 3 km south of the Marla township, the airport sits along the Stuart Highway corridor that connects Adelaide, roughly 970 km to the southeast, with Alice Springs around 400 km to the north. This position makes it useful for travellers and operators moving through central Australia.
The aerodrome has a single sealed runway and a compact passenger terminal. The airstrip was refurbished and formally reopened in 2008, when the upgrade included the installation of solar-powered runway lighting; before that work, it had operated as a dirt strip.
Ground access is by road from Marla town, with private vehicles, taxis or pre-arranged transfers the main options in this remote area. Facilities are modest, so most accommodation, fuel and food services are found in the township.
