Direct flights from Darwin and Adelaide to start in 2019 | Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park

Wednesday 14 November 2018

Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park has reopened to visitors, however, several road closures remain in place due to water over the road in a number of locations. Visitors and tourism operators may re-enter the park, but are advised to proceed with caution and drive slowly through any water on the road.

National park staff, in coordination with local agencies, are actively monitoring conditions and implementing road closures to ensure visitor safety.

The following roads remain closed until further notice:

Uluṟu Ring Road between the Mala Carpark and Muṯitjulu Turn Off
Access road to Muṯitjulu Waterhole.

Muṯitjulu residents, staff and workers can continue to enter community with access via the southern road only.

Conditions will be reassessed at 9 am ACST on 17 March with an update provided shortly after.

Qantas will start direct flights to Uluṟu from both Darwin and Adelaide in March 2019.

Operating twice a week, the new flights will let residents of the Northern Territory and South Australian capitals reach Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park much quicker.

It’s also great news for travellers from further afield, letting them easily combine a visit to the park with the wonders of the Top End (Kakadu, anyone?)

With the Red Centre appearing on Lonely Planet’s list of the best regions to visit in 2019, there’s sure to be plenty of interest in these new routes.
