Kempsey Airport serves the town of Kempsey on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, Australia, in the valley of the Macleay River not far from the Pacific. At an elevation of about 54 feet, it has a single asphalt runway near 5,413 feet, handling the regional flights and general aviation typical of a coastal country town.
