Remote airstrip serving the Cape York Peninsula community of Coen.
Location
Coen, Australia
Coen Airstrip is a small general aviation facility located in Coen, a remote township in far north Queensland, Australia, on the Cape York Peninsula. It serves as a critical air link for a community that is otherwise accessible primarily via the Peninsula Developmental Road, which can become impassable during the wet season.
The airstrip supports light aircraft operations, charter services, and Royal Flying Doctor Service missions, providing essential connectivity for medical, freight, and passenger needs. It is typical of the many bush airstrips that underpin life in remote Queensland communities.
Managed at a local or state level, the facility has limited infrastructure compared to regional airports, reflecting the small population it serves. It plays a vital role in emergency medical evacuations and supply logistics for Coen and surrounding Indigenous and pastoral communities.
