About Robinson River Airport
Robinson River Airport is a small remote airstrip in the Gulf Country of the Northern Territory, Australia. It serves the nearby Aboriginal community of Robinson River and is identified by the IATA code RRV and ICAO code YRBR.
The airport has a single sealed runway, 13/31, approximately 1,160 metres long. It is used mainly for charter flights, Royal Flying Doctor Service medical operations, government transport and essential supply flights, rather than regular scheduled passenger services.
The airstrip sits about 6 km from the Robinson River community, roughly 144 km southeast of Borroloola and around 800 km from Katherine. Access depends on outback road conditions, and travel can be disrupted during the Northern Territory wet season.
Facilities at the airfield are minimal, with no conventional passenger terminal, shops or lounges. Visitors should arrange transport, supplies and flight access with local operators or community contacts before travelling.
