With a permanent population in the single digits, William Creek is one of Australia's most remote settlements, set on the historic Oodnadatta Track. Its unsealed aerodrome mainly serves scenic flights over Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre and supply runs to surrounding cattle stations. There is no scheduled air cargo: the strip supports tourism, general aviation and Royal Flying Doctor Service operations. Freight that must move by air is handled via Adelaide, roughly 850 km to the south. William Creek is a gateway to the outback rather than a logistics node.
