Ti-Tree Airfield (ICAO:YTIT), also known as Ti Tree aeroplane landing area (ALA) is a landing strip in the Northern Territory of Australia located in the town of Ti-Tree.
The airfield is located on the east side of the town and the Stuart Highway. Its single runway has a length of 4265feet, a width of 92feet, a sealed surface and an approximate north-south orientation. The airfield is owned by the Northern Territory Government and operated by the local government authority, the Central Desert Region.[3] [4]
In 2015, the draft EIS for a proposed mine at Mount Peake which is located about north-west of Ti-Tree included a proposal to upgrade the airfield to allow its use by aircraft such as the Fokker F100 or BAE146 to fly-in fly-out personnel involved in the mine's establishment and its subsequent operation. The proposed work included the increasing the width of the runway and the provision of a terminal building.[5]
