Mornington Island Airport Guide
Mornington Island Airport sits just northwest of Gununa, the main community on Mornington Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland. The council names it the Barney Charles and Larry Gavenor Airport. Its ICAO code is YMTI, and the field lies about 10 m above sea level.
Mornington Shire Council owns and operates the airport. Its main sealed runway, 09/27, is about 1,515 m long. A shorter gravel runway, 12/30, is about 756 m long. The airport takes commercial and charter light aircraft, emergency services flights and helicopters. It is open Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 3:30pm. No fuel is sold on the island, and the Gununa Cafe serves coffee and light refreshments.
Rex flies to Cairns, Mount Isa, Normanton, Burketown and Doomadgee. The island has no road link to the mainland, so the airport is the main way in for residents and visitors. Runway damage restricted heavier aircraft from December 2015, and later runway works lifted the length restriction.
