Airport Info

Alice Springs Airport is a regional airport 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 miles) south of Alice Springs, Northern Territory. The airport was notably involved in Australia's first domestic airline hijacking, and later a suicide attack by a former airline employee which claimed the lives of four others.

The airport has two runways, the largest of which can accommodate a Boeing 747 or 777 landing (but not a fully laden take-off due to high temperatures and the runway length). The only scheduled flights using the airport are domestic, although international charters do use the airport on occasions. The airport is not subject to a curfew and operates 24 hours a day.
