## Description

Unlike the resource airports of Australia's west, Inverell handles no scheduled freight at all: this New England Tablelands strip serves general aviation, charter and air-ambulance flights for a district built on sapphire mining, cattle and grain. Regular passenger services have come and gone over the years, leaving road haulage as the backbone of regional goods movement. Any air cargo bound for Inverell is trucked from Tamworth or the major gateways at Sydney and Brisbane. The airfield's value lies in connectivity and emergency access rather than tonnage. Locally, Inverell is proudly the "Sapphire City", a nod to the gemfields that surround it.
