About South Goulburn Island Airport
South Goulburn Island Airport is a small regional aerodrome serving Warruwi, the main community on South Goulburn Island, off the Arnhem Land coast in the Northern Territory. It provides essential air access for the island and is operated by Warruwi Community Inc.
The airport is located about 2 km west of Warruwi and roughly 300 km east of Darwin. There is no road connection to the mainland, so the community relies on scheduled flights and weekly barge services for access and freight.
Its infrastructure includes a single asphalt runway and a small passenger terminal, supporting the regular Fly Tiwi passenger service between Warruwi and Darwin, with travel concentrated on domestic regional flights.
Because the island has no road link to the mainland, ground transport is limited to short local journeys around Warruwi. Travellers continuing beyond the island typically connect through Darwin for onward flights or regional transport.
