## Description

Darnley Island Airport (IATA: NLF, ICAO: YDNI) on Erub Island in Australia's Torres Strait is a short light-aircraft strip that keeps the island community supplied with mail, food and urgent goods, but it has no commercial cargo handling, no cold store and no customs post. Larger quantities of goods reach the island by supply vessel rather than by air. The regional connection is Horn Island (HID), which links to Cairns (CNS), the cargo airport for far north Queensland and the point of customs clearance.
