## Description

Qantas Freight, not a cargo airline, is the operator that matters at Coffs Harbour Airport (CFS/YCFS): it provides ground handling for the belly freight carried on the passenger jets that gave the field more than 263,000 passenger movements in the financial year to June 2025. Qantas serves Sydney and Melbourne, Rex flies to Sydney and Link Airways to Brisbane; there is no dedicated cargo terminal and no freighter service. Regional handling rules apply strictly: freight is accepted 90 to 65 minutes before departure, or 90 to 75 minutes where terminal screening is required, and released 10 to 20 minutes after arrival, with no storage on site, so consignments must be collected on arrival. The passenger terminal has recently been upgraded. The surrounding mid-north-coast district is known for blueberries and bananas, but perishables travel mainly by refrigerated road transport along the Pacific Highway or are consolidated for air uplift at Brisbane (BNE), with Sydney (SYD) as the alternative. For shippers CFS suits small consignments and express traffic rather than volume freight.
