Boulia Airport
Boulia Airport, coded BQL, serves the remote outback town of Boulia in western Queensland, Australia. Sitting at 542 feet above sea level, the field's single strip serves as its only runway. Boulia lies deep in Queensland's Channel Country, a vast, sparsely populated region, and the airport provides a critical link for residents and the Royal Flying Doctor Service, which relies on small regional airfields like this one across the Australian outback. Scheduled flights are limited, and much of the field's activity involves charter and emergency medical flights rather than routine passenger schedules.
