Coober Pedy Airport

Coober Pedy Airport (IATA: CPD) opened in the mid-1960s and operates from a single small terminal, serving as the key regional air link for the opal-mining town of Coober Pedy in South Australia. Though compact, the airport is important for tourism, mining charters and medical transfers, with regular scheduled services to Adelaide and other regional centres; it sits a short drive from town on sealed roads off the Stuart Highway and is reachable by taxi, rental car and limited shuttle services. Flights are typically sold by regional carriers such as Rex and occasional charter operators; fares are generally reasonable for short hops but can be higher than metropolitan routes due to remoteness.
