Broome International Airport — Broome, Australia

Broome International Airport, carrying the code BME, serves the town of Broome in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, at a low elevation of 56 feet. Despite its single runway, the airport is classified as a large airport due to the volume of tourist and charter traffic it handles, particularly during the dry season when visitors flock to the region. Broome is known for its pearling industry history and its proximity to Cable Beach, drawing travelers from across Australia and beyond. BME functions as the principal air link for the wider Kimberley, a remote area with limited road access during the wet season. The airport connects Broome to Perth and other major Australian cities, and seasonal fluctuations in tourist numbers make traffic through BME considerably heavier in the cooler months than during the tropical wet season. Charter operators also use BME as a base for scenic flights over the Kimberley coastline and the Buccaneer Archipelago further north.
