About Coffs Harbour Airport

Coffs Harbour Airport (IATA: CFS, ICAO: YSCH) is owned and operated by Coffs Harbour City Council, making it one of the few council-run regional airports in New South Wales. The airport has a single sealed runway capable of handling aircraft up to the mid-size jet category, including turboprops and business jets frequently used on east-coast Australian routes. A modern terminal building serves both commercial and general aviation traffic, and the airport has undergone significant infrastructure investment in recent years to support growing passenger numbers. Domestic customs and biosecurity screening are handled efficiently within the terminal, with private charter arrivals typically processed with minimal formality compared to major capital city airports. The airport’s proximity to the city centre — just minutes by road — is a further advantage for time-sensitive travellers.
