Transportation

Due to its extreme remoteness, transportation to and within Campbell Bay is a significant logistical challenge.

* **Air**: INS Baaz operates a military airstrip that handles defense aircraft. For civilians, Pawan Hans helicopter services provide crucial connectivity between Campbell Bay, Car Nicobar, and Port Blair, mostly for medical emergencies and government officials. * **Sea**: The primary lifeline of the town is shipping. Ferries and cargo ships operated by the Directorate of Shipping Services (DSS) run periodically between Port Blair and Campbell Bay. The journey can take 24 to 36 hours. * **Roads**: The town is connected by a local road network. The famous North-South Road once connected Campbell Bay all the way down to Indira Point, but large sections were swallowed by the sea in 2004; it has been partially rebuilt but remains limited. * **Local Transit**: Private jeeps, motorcycles, and a few auto-rickshaws serve as the main modes of local transport. There are limited local bus services run by the administration.
