Pormpuraaw Airport (IATA: EDR, ICAO: YPMP) is listed on Wikipedia as Edward River Airport. It serves the Aboriginal community of Pormpuraaw on the west coast of Cape York Peninsula, close to the Edward River. The 2021 census recorded 611 people in the locality, and the airfield sits at about 8 ft (2.4 m) above sea level.
The airport has one asphalt runway, 14/32, which is 1,360 m long. It is a public aerodrome operated by the Pormpuraaw Aboriginal Shire Council. Fresh fruit, vegetables and milk arrive weekly by truck in the dry season and by plane in the wet season, so the airstrip is an important link for residents.
