Bathurst Island Airport (IATA: BRT, ICAO: YBTI) is located at Wurrumiyanga, on the south east coast of Bathurst Island, Australia. The airport has a sealed runway, which is 1,470 m × 30 m (4,823 ft × 98 ft), making it unsuitable for larger commercial jets. However, there are regular, smaller commercial tours to the island. Bathurst Island Airport is 80 km (50 mi) from Darwin International Airport.
