## Description

Runway 14/32 at Bundaberg Airport (BDB, YBUD) came out of a polymer-modified bitumen resurfacing in June 2026, part-funded by the Commonwealth's Regional Airports Program and aimed at passenger reliability rather than freight capacity. The council-owned Queensland coastal field is served by QantasLink and Virgin Australia with roughly 35 weekly services to Brisbane, on an apron sized for Code 4C jets such as the B737 and A320. Industry listings put throughput at around 150,000 passengers a year. No dedicated cargo terminal, bonded facility or scheduled freighter operation is confirmed, so air shipments move as belly load on regional aircraft. Sugarcane, macadamias, sweet potatoes and Bundaberg Rum reach market by truck on the Bruce Highway and through the Port of Bundaberg some 20 km away, the district accounting for roughly 40 percent of the national macadamia crop. Customs clearance for international consignments is handled in Brisbane (BNE), about 360 km south by road, while Hervey Bay (HVB) around 110 km away is the nearest alternative regional field.
