}}Bundaberg Airport {{airport codes|BDB[2]|YBUD}} is a regional airport serving Bundaberg, a city in the Australian state of Queensland.[1] It is located {{convert|2.5|NM|lk=in}} southwest[1] of the city centre, on North Childers Road and Takalvan Street.[3] The airport is owned and operated by the Bundaberg Regional Council.[1][4] It is also known as Bundaberg Regional Airport.[4]

History

The airport was officially opened on 12 December 1931, by the Minister for Trade and Customs, the Hon. Frank Forde, M.H.R., as a civilian airport.

With the outbreak of World War II, it was decided as part of the Empire Air Training Scheme to requisition Bundaberg Airport and develop it as a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Flying Training School.

Known as RAAF Station Bundaberg it was initially used in 1941 by No. 12 Elementary Flying Training School RAAF (12 EFTS), until 12 EFTS relocated to Lowood Aerodrome (located at Tarampa) on 12 January 1942. No. 8 Service Flying Training School RAAF then operated from the base.
