Remote gateway serving the Wadeye community in Australia's Northern Territory.

Location
Wadeye, Australia
Port Keats Airport, designated IATA code PKT and ICAO code YPKT, serves the remote community of Wadeye in the Northern Territory of Australia. Wadeye, formerly known as Port Keats, is one of the largest Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory, and the airport plays a critical role in connecting residents to essential services and regional centres. The airport operates primarily as a regional facility serving charter and scheduled regional flights, given the absence of sealed road access to Wadeye for much of the year due to seasonal flooding. It is a lifeline for the community, supporting medical evacuations, freight, and passenger services.
Terminals
The airport has basic terminal facilities consistent with a remote community aerodrome, without elaborate passenger amenities.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options from the airport are limited, with road access to the broader region often restricted during the wet season, making air travel the primary reliable connection.
Airlines here
Regional airlines such as Airnorth have operated services linking Wadeye to Darwin and other Northern Territory destinations.
