Jabiru Airport Operations Secured to Support Kakadu Tourism
Jabiru Airport, a crucial gateway to Kakadu National Park in Australia's Northern Territory, has been saved from demolition. The Gundjeihmi Aboriginal Corporation (GAC), representing the traditional Mirarr people, has taken over operations, preventing the airport's planned destruction. This move ensures continued access to Kakadu, a world heritage-listed site, and supports the region's ambition to become a post-mining tourism hub. The airport's future was uncertain due to its location on land leased to the now-defunct Ranger uranium mine. The Northern Territory Government, alongside GAC, the Commonwealth, Rio Tinto, and aviation operators, is working to finalize arrangements to keep the airport operational.
