Distance & flight time from ASP

Alice Springs Airport

Alice Springs Airport serves the outback town of Alice Springs in Australia's Northern Territory, sitting near the geographic center of the continent. Elevation here reaches 1,789 feet, and the field is equipped with two runways capable of handling both regional turboprops and larger jet aircraft. It acts as the aerial gateway to Uluru-Kata Tjuta and the wider Red Centre, connecting visitors and residents to Darwin, Adelaide, and other Australian cities. Because road distances across the Northern Territory are vast, Alice Springs Airport plays an outsized role in local transport, tourism logistics, and emergency medical evacuation flights for surrounding communities. Having a second runway gives it more flexibility than many similarly sized outback fields.
