Hamilton Island Airport HTI / YBHM

Self-performs ground handling, marshalling and airside transfers for general aviation, private and charter aircraft at Great Barrier Reef Airport (YBHM-HTI); confirmed by the airport's own General Aviation Aircraft Information Sheet ('Ground handling is performed by Hamilton Island Airport') and its published Ground Handling Fees schedule (effective 1 Apr 2026: arrival/departure handling incl. baggage handling and marshalling, verified directly from the PDF). Note: AIP Australia's current FAC entry for YBHM separately states 'AD OPR does not provide marshalling services' -- that line appears to be stale boilerplate inconsistent with the airport's own newer fee schedule, which explicitly bills for 'Marshalling of Aircraft'. Scheduled RPT carriers use a separately contracted handler (see Precision Aviation Services). · 07:30-16:00 AEST; after-hours incurs Airport Safety Officer call-out fee
