Warraber Island

Warraber Island Airport, serving the small Torres Strait community in Queensland, was established in the 1980s and features a single runway and one modest terminal building tailored to island travel. This compact regional airstrip is important for local connectivity, handling short commuter flights and medical or supply charters rather than heavy traffic, with scenic approaches over coral reef and surrounding waters. Accessibility is straightforward for residents—short walks from the village and quick transfers to boat ramps—and flights link to nearby Horn Island and other Torres Strait hubs that connect onward to the Queensland mainland. As a remote island facility, fares tend to be higher than mainland routes, and the airport is not a hub but hosts a handful of regional carriers operating essential inter-island services.
