Discover the Northern Territory at Amata Airport: Australia's Largest Regional Airport





Amata Airport is located in Australia, near the city of Darwin in the Northern Territory. It is the largest regional airport in the Northern Territory and one of the busiest regional airports in Australia.

The airport was first built in 1973, to service the area’s growing population and the increased number of tourists visiting the region. The airport was named after the Amata people, the traditional owners of the land on which the airport was built. The name was chosen to recognize their long-standing relationship with the land and to honor their culture and heritage.

The airport code AMT was derived from the first two letters of the airport’s name, Amata. This code is used in the aviation industry to identify the airport when booking flights.
