History
The first Alice Springs arrivals took place in 1921. Many years later the carrier Connair settled in Alice Springs. Not much later came the construction of Seven Mile Aerodrome because larger aircraft had to be able to land. In the early years it was used by the US and Royal Australian Air Force during the war. It was not until the year 1958 that the airport got its official name as it is now. A few years later, the longest runway was extended to 2,450 meters. The airport came into the hands of Northern Territory Airports Pty Ltd in 1989 who were given a 50 year lease with an option of another 49 years.
