About Sturt Creek Airport
Sturt Creek Airport is a small outback airfield in the Shire of Halls Creek, in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It carries the IATA code SSK and sits roughly 110 km southeast of the town of Halls Creek, close to Sturt Creek Station.
The airfield is used mainly for general aviation, charter and pastoral station flights rather than scheduled airline traffic. Its single unpaved runway, aligned 08/26 and about 947 meters long, serves light aircraft operating across this remote part of northern Western Australia.
Located about 110 km from Halls Creek, the airport is reached by outback roads, and transfers into Halls Creek and the wider Kimberley are usually arranged by private vehicle or charter. There is no large passenger terminal, and on-site facilities are limited, so travelers should confirm fuel, ground transport and support services before arrival.
Despite its remote setting, the airfield provides an important access point for the Sturt Creek area and surrounding pastoral stations, and operates on Australian Western Standard Time (UTC+8).
