A single lighted asphalt runway, designated 14/32, handles regular island access while keeping arrivals straightforward and easy to navigate compared with larger mainland airports. Since island travel often depends on weather, daylight, and coordinated transfers, it is wise to confirm local transport and accommodation arrangements before arrival, especially if you are connecting onward to marina departures, resort check-in, or tours around the Whitsundays.
