  "connection_tips": "Saibai Island Airport (SBR) is a remote airstrip in the Torres Strait, just a few kilometers from the coast of Papua New Guinea. Skytrans and Hinterland Aviation provide regular links to Horn Island (HID) For a clean handoff, a pre-arranged pickup or host contact is the useful backup, because the airport is really the handoff into Saibai Island rather than a place to wait around. The meaningful alternates are Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, Boigu Island Airport, which is why the backup plan matters more than the terminal amenities. Scheduled service is carried by Regional carriers, so the first bank of the day is the one to watch. That makes weather and daylight the real constraints, with the village or resort side of the trip doing most of the work.\n\nMost travel on the island is conducted on foot, as the main village is less than 1km from the terminal For a same-day backup, a pre-arranged pickup or host contact is the useful backup, because the airport is really the handoff into Saibai Island rather than a place to wait around.

  "terminal_info": "Saibai Island Airport (SBR) is a small civil airfield in Queensland, Australia, identified by ICAO code YSII. It primarily serves the local Saibai Island community. \n\nOpenAIP records a single asphalt runway (12/30) measuring approximately 750 meters by 18 meters (2,461 feet by 59 feet), with an elevation of roughly 5 meters above sea level. This compact facility is essential for connectivity in the Torres Strait, supporting light regional aircraft and emergency services for the Saibai Island community.\n\nThe same source indicates no passenger facilities, no fuel, and no handling services, so the terminal footprint is minimal and oriented to basic community access.
