Tindal Airport

Tindal Airport (YPTN) is a medium airport in Australia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code YPTN or IATA code KTR. It sits in Oceania.

Tindal Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.

Tindal Airport sits near sea level at 443 ft.

Local operations run on Australia/Darwin. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess inventory for YPTN updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

RAAF Base Tindal also known as Tindal Air Base is a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) major Australian military air base and civil aviation airfield located 8 nautical miles east southeast of the town of Katherine, Northern Territory in Australia. The base is currently home to No. 75 Squadron and a number of non-flying units, and also hosts the civilian Katherine Tindal Airport. First constructed in 1942, it was refurbished in the late 1960s as a bare base capable of being utilised when required. It was opened as a permanently manned RAAF base in 1989.
