Gateway to Queensland's remote outback mining hub.

Location
Mount Isa, Australia
Mount Isa Airport (IATA: ISA, ICAO: YBMA) serves the city of Mount Isa in northwest Queensland, Australia. It is the primary air gateway for one of the world's largest single-mine operations and supports both passenger and freight services to and from this remote region. The airport is operated by the Mount Isa City Council and handles regular jet and turboprop services connecting Mount Isa to major Queensland cities. It plays a critical role in supporting the mining, resources, and healthcare sectors of the region.

The airport has a single terminal building handling all passenger arrivals and departures.
Getting to & from
Taxis and rental cars are the primary ground transport options connecting the airport to Mount Isa city centre, located approximately 5 kilometres away.
