Remote Kimberley gateway serving the Fitzroy Crossing community.

Location
Fitzroy Crossing, Australia
Fitzroy Crossing Airport is a small regional airport located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, serving the remote town of Fitzroy Crossing. It provides essential air access to an area that is otherwise difficult to reach by road, particularly during the wet season when flooding can cut off ground routes. The airport handles light aircraft and regional turboprop services, primarily connecting Fitzroy Crossing with Broome, Derby, and other Kimberley communities. It plays a vital role in supporting the local Indigenous communities, pastoral stations, and tourism related to the nearby Geikie Gorge National Park and Fitzroy River. Facilities at the airport are modest, reflecting the small population it serves. The airport is managed at a local or shire level and does not operate with the infrastructure of larger regional hubs.
Terminals
The airport has a single basic terminal building with minimal passenger amenities suited to its low traffic volumes.
Getting to & from

Traveller Tips
  • Pre-book ground transport and accommodation well in advance, especially during peak tourist season (April to September).
  • Carry sufficient cash as EFTPOS and ATM access in Fitzroy Crossing is limited and unreliable.
