About Tibooburra Airport
Tibooburra Airport is a small public aerodrome serving Tibooburra, a remote outback town in far north-west New South Wales. Located in the Corner Country, near the point where New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia meet, it supports charter flights, private aircraft and essential services such as the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
The aerodrome lies about 5.6 km east of the town centre and has two intersecting runways, a sealed strip and a dirt strip, which allow aircraft to operate in different wind conditions. The main bitumen runway was resealed in 2022, and the dirt runway was repaired and regraded in 2023.
There are no scheduled commercial airline services, so most travellers reach Tibooburra by road, private aircraft or charter flight. Broken Hill, the nearest major centre, is roughly 330 km to the south, and the airport is about 1,180 km north-west of Sydney.
Despite its small scale, the airport is a vital link for the local community, providing access for medical evacuations, emergency services and visitors travelling to Sturt National Park and other outback destinations. Onward transfers and accommodation are typically arranged through local providers in Tibooburra.
