Alice Springs Airport (ASP)

Alice Springs Airport is the iconic "Red Centre" gateway, located in the heart of the Northern Territory. It is world-renowned for its vast aircraft storage facility (boneyard), where the dry desert air provides the perfect environment for preserving planes from across the globe. The airport is a crucial hub for tourism, providing the main connection point for travelers visiting Uluru, the West MacDonnell Ranges, and Kings Canyon. It also serves as a vital base for the Royal Flying Doctor Service and stratospheric balloon research. Featuring a large, modern terminal with impressive desert views, the airport handles over 600,000 passengers annually. Its runways are capable of landing the world's largest aircraft, making it a strategic alternative landing site for international flights crossing Australia.
