Remote outback gateway serving South Australia's far north.
Location
Marree, Australia
Marree Airport is a small regional aerodrome located in the outback town of Marree, in the Far North region of South Australia. It serves as an essential air access point for the remote community, which sits at the junction of the Birdsville Track and the Oodnadatta Track.
The airport primarily supports general aviation, charter flights, and emergency services, including the Royal Flying Doctor Service, which relies on facilities like Marree to deliver healthcare across vast, sparsely populated areas. Regular passenger services are limited, reflecting the town's small population of only a few hundred residents.
Marree itself holds historical significance as a former hub of the old Ghan railway route and is a popular stop for outback travellers. The airport's airstrip enables access that would otherwise require long drives across unsealed desert roads.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from Marree Airport is limited to private vehicles, as the town has no formal taxi or bus services.
