Remote gateway serving Cape York Peninsula in Queensland.

Location
Coen, Australia
Coen Airport (IATA: CUQ, ICAO: YCOE) is a small regional airport serving the town of Coen in Far North Queensland, Australia. Located on the Cape York Peninsula, it provides an essential air link for a community that is otherwise accessible primarily via the Peninsula Developmental Road, which can become impassable during the wet season. The airport supports general aviation, charter flights, and regional services, playing a critical role in connecting the isolated community with larger centres such as Cairns. It also supports medical evacuation flights and supply operations for the surrounding region. Coen itself is a small township serving as an administrative centre for the Cook Shire. The airport is a vital piece of infrastructure for the indigenous and non-indigenous communities across Cape York Peninsula.
