## Description

Badu Island Airport (IATA: BDD, ICAO: YBAU) serves an island community in the Torres Strait, at the far northern tip of Queensland. Light aircraft carry passengers, mail and small consignments; there is no cargo terminal, no cold storage and no dedicated customs post, and heavy goods arrive by sea. For air freight, Horn Island (HID) acts as the regional transfer point and Cairns (CNS) is the nearest larger airport with cargo handling, while Brisbane (BNE) covers international connections.
