Christmas Creek Station (IATA: CXQ) is the bush strip of a cattle station in Western Australia's Kimberley — not to be confused with the iron ore mine of the same name (CKW) in the Pilbara. It is used for supply flights, charters and Royal Flying Doctor Service missions; there is no scheduled service, no cargo handling and no customs post. Air freight for the Kimberley runs through Broome (BME) or Kununurra (KNX), with Perth (PER) the nearest major gateway for intercontinental consignments.
