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
Ground transport between the airport and Fitzroy Crossing town centre is limited, with rental vehicles and private arrangements being the primary options.
Airlines here
Aviair has historically operated services through the Kimberley region connecting Fitzroy Crossing to Broome and Derby.
