## Description

Famous for opals and underground homes rather than freight, Coober Pedy sits in the arid north of South Australia. Coober Pedy Airport (CPD, ICAO: YCBP) is a regional passenger field where Regional Express (Rex) was, as of mid-2026, the only airline, operating solely to Adelaide, about 750 kilometres away and roughly two hours' flying. The asphalt runway 04/22 measures some 1,428 metres, with a shorter 829-metre gravel strip alongside; there is no cargo terminal, no handling agent and no scheduled freight. The airport carries passengers, mail and belly load, while supplies, mining equipment and fuel reach the town by truck along the Stuart Highway — roughly 850 road kilometres from Adelaide and about 680 from Alice Springs. For genuine air cargo, Adelaide (ADL) is the nearest freight airport and the location of the relevant customs offices, with Alice Springs (ASP) serving the northern part of the region.
