About Olympic Dam Airport
Olympic Dam Airport is a small regional airport serving the Olympic Dam mine and the nearby town of Roxby Downs in outback South Australia. Operated by BHP's Olympic Dam operations, it primarily supports fly-in fly-out workers along with scheduled flights to Adelaide.
Located at Olympic Dam, the airport sits about 11 km north of Roxby Downs and serves the wider far north region of South Australia. It has a single runway and a compact passenger terminal designed for domestic and mining-related operations.
Ground access from the airport is limited, with taxis, rental cars and pre-booked private transfers being the main options. Roxby Downs is usually around 15 to 20 minutes away by road, while Andamooka lies further to the northeast.
Although passenger facilities are basic, the airport remains an important gateway for mine workers, business travellers and visitors heading to the Roxby Downs area and surrounding outback destinations.
