About Wave Hill Airport
Wave Hill Airport (WAV) is a small outback airstrip in the Victoria Daly Region of the Northern Territory, Australia. It supports private, charter and community flights serving the Wave Hill area and the nearby Kalkaringi and Daguragu communities.
The airfield has a single runway, 14/32, approximately 1,160 metres long, and operates as a private-use aerodrome rather than a scheduled commercial airport. Its compact setup reflects its role connecting a remote part of the Territory to larger regional centres such as Katherine and Darwin.
Wave Hill Airport sits about 16 kilometres east of Kalkaringi, a community on the Buntine Highway. Katherine lies roughly 460 kilometres to the northeast, and road access across the region can be affected by seasonal conditions, so travellers should plan onward connections in advance.
For visitors heading to Wave Hill Station country or the southern gateway of Judbarra/Gregory National Park, the airstrip offers a practical arrival point, with limited on-site facilities and most services available in Kalkaringi.
