Bundaberg Airport is a regional airport in Queensland, about 6 km south west of the Bundaberg city centre. It opened as a civilian aerodrome on 12 December 1931 and was renamed Hinkler Airport in 1936. During the Second World War the RAAF used it for pilot training, and No. 8 Service Flying Training School operated there until 1945.

Bundaberg Regional Council has owned and operated the airport since 1983. The main runway, 14/32, is 2,000 m of asphalt, extended in a 2010 upgrade so jets such as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 can use it. A shorter grass and clay runway, 07/25, is 1,128 m long. The airport recorded 140,649 revenue passengers and 3,535 aircraft movements in 2024-25.

Scheduled flights run to Brisbane only, with QantasLink and Link Airways as the operators. Bonza flew from Melbourne between May 2023 and April 2024. The terminal building dates from 1986 and houses car rental counters, security screening at the entry to the departure lounge and a free taxi phone. The airport also serves the Royal Flying Doctor Service, Life Flight, charter operators and flight training schools.
