## Description

Coondewanna Airport (IATA: CJF, ICAO: YCWA) is owned by BHP Iron Ore and works as the company airfield for the Mining Area C and South Flank iron ore operations in the central Pilbara, about two and a half kilometres from the Coondewanna mining village. Traffic is fly-in fly-out only: roughly 16 charter flights a week from Perth plus a service from Busselton, operated among others by Alliance Airlines. There is no public scheduled service, no cargo terminal, no customs clearance and no third-party handling, and the iron ore itself leaves the region by rail and ship via Port Hedland. Air freight for the Pilbara runs through Port Hedland (PHE), Newman (ZNE) or Paraburdoo (PBO), with Perth (PER) as the wider gateway.
