## Description

In the remote Daly River region of the Northern Territory, Port Keats Airport serves Wadeye, one of the Territory's largest Aboriginal communities, roughly 420 km south-west of Darwin. Operations are limited to regional and charter flights, with no dedicated cargo terminal. Air freight here means community resupply — food, mail and everyday goods — particularly during the wet season, when road access is regularly cut. Commercial forwarders route air cargo through Darwin (DRW), which offers customs clearance and national connections. The community's seasonal isolation is the defining logistics fact: aircraft become the essential link when the roads disappear under water.
