About Smithton Airport
Smithton Airport is a small regional airfield serving Smithton and the Circular Head area of Tasmania's north-west. Located about 4 km west of the town, it supports general aviation and regional flying rather than regular large-scale commercial passenger services.
The aerodrome has a long local history, with its official opening recorded in February 1933. Today it remains a modest facility operated by the Tasmanian Government, with a single runway and a compact terminal offering basic passenger amenities.
The terminal includes a waiting room, toilets, local tourism information and free parking outside, with flat tarmac access between the building and aircraft. Ground transport is road-based, with connections to Smithton, the nearby coastal town of Stanley and other Circular Head destinations.
For travelers visiting this part of Tasmania, the airport provides a simple and convenient entry point for private and charter flights, with onward journeys continuing by car, taxi or pre-arranged transfer.
