Remote Kimberley gateway serving outback Western Australia.

Location
Halls Creek, Australia
Halls Creek Airport (IATA: HCQ, ICAO: YHLC) is a small regional airport serving the town of Halls Creek in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It provides essential air links for a remote community that is otherwise dependent on long road journeys across largely unpaved outback terrain. The airport supports scheduled regional services connecting Halls Creek to other Kimberley towns and to Broome, which serves as the main regional hub. It also handles charter flights, aeromedical evacuations, and general aviation traffic, which are vital for the health and welfare of remote Indigenous and pastoral communities in the area. Halls Creek is one of the oldest towns in the Kimberley, and the airport plays a critical role in supplying the region, particularly during the wet season when roads can become impassable for extended periods.
Terminals
The airport has a simple single terminal building suited to low passenger volumes typical of remote regional operations.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to Halls Creek town centre is primarily by private vehicle or taxi, as no formal public bus service operates from the airport.
Airlines here
Aviair and Shine Aviation (formerly Skeggies Air) have operated scheduled services at Halls Creek, connecting it to Broome and other Kimberley destinations.
