A plane crash in a remote part of West Arnhem Land has left one person dead and another seriously injured.

Northern Territory police were advised of the crash shortly before 11am and dispatched the nearest officers at Goulburn Island to attend the location on King River, several hours away by boat.

CareFlight also dispatched a rescue helicopter, and the Australian Rescue Coordination Centre, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority and NT WorkSafe were also advised.

Authorities reached the site on Monday afternoon and confirmed the death of a 34-year-old man.

The survivor, a 28-year-old man, was transported to Royal Darwin Hospital.

Investigations into the crash are under way.
