Alice Springs Airport

Alice Springs Airport (IATA: ASP, ICAO: YBAS) is a regional domestic airport located in Connellan, Northern Territory, 7 nautical miles (13 km, 8.1 mi) south of the town of Alice Springs. The busiest and primary airport serving Central Australia, Alice Springs Airport is the 24th busiest airport in Australia with a total of 356,813 passengers in the 2024–25 financial year. The airport operates with two runways, of which the larger can accommodate widebody aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747, although not a fully laden take offs 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 occasion. The facility is extensively used to launch stratospheric research balloons; the runways used for a balloon launch are closed for aircraft traffic during the balloon launch process. Alice Springs Airport is not subject to a curfew, and operates 24 hours a day.
