## Description

Bairnsdale Airport (BSJ) is a general-aviation field, not a freight facility. Set in East Gippsland, Victoria – dairy, timber and tourism country – it is used mainly for flight training, private aircraft, Royal Flying Doctor Service flights and, in summer, as a firefighting aircraft base. There is no cargo terminal and no scheduled air freight; the region's produce leaves Gippsland by truck along the Princes Highway. For logistics professionals, BSJ functions as a regional airfield rather than a cargo airport. Air freight for eastern Victoria is handled through Melbourne, via Tullamarine or Avalon, roughly 280 kilometres to the west.
