Yorke Island Airport (OKR)

Yorke Island Airport (OKR), also known as Masig Island Airport, is a vital regional airfield located on Yorke (Masig) Island in the Torres Strait, Queensland, Australia. The facility consists of a compact, single-room passenger terminal designed to facilitate quick transit for the local community and visitors. The building is functional and community-focused, reflecting the relaxed atmosphere of the island. Amenities within the terminal are basic and intended for short-term use. Passengers have access to simple seating, restroom facilities, and a small service desk for check-in and information. The terminal is naturally ventilated and does not feature air conditioning or Wi-Fi. There are no cafes, restaurants, or retail shops on-site, so travelers are encouraged to bring their own refreshments and supplies for their journey. The airport is managed by the Torres Strait Island Regional Council and features a 3,281-foot (1,000m) concrete runway (12/30). It is primarily served by regional carriers such as Skytrans and Hinterland Aviation, which connect Masig Island to the regional hub at Horn Island and other nearby islands. The terminal is located approximately 0.5 miles from the main village, with most local transportation being within walking distance or arranged through island guesthouses.
