Bathurst Island Airport
Bathurst Island Airport is an airport located at Wurrumiyanga, on the southeast coast of Bathurst Island, in the Northern Territory of Australia. The airport has a sealed runway, which is 1470 x, making it unsuitable for larger commercial jets. However, there are regular, smaller commercial tours to the island. Bathurst Island Airport is 80 km from Darwin International Airport.
History
The Royal Australian Air Force utilised the airfield during World War II. The original airfield is now the public cemetery with the newer strip located 2 kilometres west.
