## Description

QantasLink is the lone scheduled operator at Norfolk Island Airport (NLK), flying Airbus A320s from Sydney and Brisbane to this remote Australian territory in the South Pacific. With no dedicated freighters on the route, all cargo and mail travels in the belly holds of those passenger jets, so capacity stays modest and tied to seat demand. Freight forwarders therefore consolidate Norfolk-bound shipments at the genuine cargo gateways of Sydney (SYD) or Auckland (AKL) before forwarding them as belly load. The single sealed runway handles narrow-body aircraft only, ruling out large-volume air freight. For heavier consignments, sea transport via Kingston's open roadstead remains the practical option, as the island has no sheltered harbour.
