Kowanyama Airport (YKOW) is a medium airport in Kowanyama, Australia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code YKOW or IATA code KWM. It sits in Oceania.

Kowanyama Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Local operations run on Australia/Brisbane. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
