About Cloncurry Airport

Overview

Cloncurry Airport serves the remote mining and agricultural regions of northwestern Queensland, Australia. Located at coordinates -20.668600, 140.503998, the airport provides critical infrastructure for regional transportation in this mineral-rich area. The airport operates as a medium-sized facility supporting commercial, charter, and potential resource sector aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

Situated at an elevation of 616 feet mean sea level, Cloncurry Airport experiences typical inland Australian climate conditions with significant temperature variations. The airport's two asphalted runways (06/24 at 3,796 ft and 12/30 at 6,562 ft) provide flexibility for aircraft operations across different wind conditions and seasonal meteorological changes.

Notable Features

The airport's substantial runway lengths accommodate a diverse range of aircraft types, with the 12/30 runway offering extended operational capabilities at 6,562 feet. Its inland location suggests potential for thermal and wind variations typical of central Queensland's terrain, which pilots should carefully assess during pre-flight planning.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should note the two perpendicular runway configurations (06/24 and 12/30), which provide options for landing based on prevailing wind conditions. The longer 12/30 runway offers enhanced operational flexibility, particularly for larger aircraft or during challenging meteorological scenarios.
