About Merty Merty Airport
Merty Merty Airport is a small outback airfield in the far north-east of South Australia, near the remote Merty Merty station area and the Strzelecki Track. It mainly supports general aviation, private flights and charter operations rather than scheduled airline services, providing an air access point for station work and outback travel.
Because of its remote location, the airfield has no conventional passenger terminal or regular city transfer network. It lies about 720 km north of Adelaide and roughly 100 km from Innamincka; surrounding roads are largely unsealed, and travel conditions can change quickly.
The airport operates as a small airfield with a single runway and limited passenger facilities. Visitors should plan fuel, supplies and ground transport carefully, and confirm landing and access arrangements before travelling.
For those arriving by private or charter aircraft, onward travel is normally organised in advance with station contacts or 4WD transport along the Strzelecki Track, since scheduled buses, taxis and ride services are not available at the airfield.
