About Laura Airport
Laura Airport is a small regional airfield serving Laura, a town on the Peninsula Development Road in Far North Queensland, Australia. It provides an important air link for the town and the surrounding southern Cape York Peninsula, supporting charter flights, general aviation and access to remote communities.
The airport lies about 3 km southeast of Laura town centre, roughly 205 km north of Cairns and about 85 km west of Cooktown. Its location makes it a useful point for reaching Cape York Peninsula, Rinyirru (Lakefield) National Park and the Laura area's Aboriginal rock art sites.
Laura Airport has a single runway and a small terminal building, reflecting its role as a low-volume regional facility rather than a major commercial hub. Most traffic is general aviation, charter and light aircraft, with no large-scale international operations.
Road access is available from Laura along local routes, and onward travel to Cooktown, Cairns and other Far North Queensland destinations is generally by private transfer, rental car or pre-arranged group transport, as scheduled public transport is limited.
