Coolibah Airport (IATA: COB) is a small airstrip serving the remote Coolibah Station and surrounding pastoral country in the Northern Territory, Australia.

The facility is basic, with no terminal amenities, and operations depend on dry-season conditions.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to confirm permission and current strip conditions with Coolibah Station before departure, and to carry extra water, fuel, and a satellite phone—mobile coverage is unreliable in this area.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is in a remote part of the Northern Territory, so there is no public transport or taxi service. Most visitors arrive by private or charter aircraft, or by 4WD via the Victoria Highway and station access roads. Check road and airstrip conditions in advance, especially during the wet season from November to April.
