Gold Coast Airport Australia

The Gold Coast Airport is an Australian domestic and international airport on the Gold Coast and is located in Coolangatta. The airport is also often referred to as the Coolangatta Airport and is located some 100 kilometres south of Brisbane.

Although the Gold Coast Airport is a fairly small Australian airport it handles around 3.5 million passengers per year mostly with frequent connections from major Australian cities and some international flights from New Zealand and Asia. A viable alternative is to fly into Brisbane Airport (BNE), and catch the direct train (90 minutes from International Terminal to Robina).

The entrance to the airport is situated in the suburb of Bilinga on the Gold Coast. The runway itself straddles 5 suburbs of twin cities across the state border of Queensland and New South Wales. During summer these states are in two different time zones.

Gold Coast Airport is the fastest growing airport in Australia, and has handled during financial year 2006/2007 more than 3.7 million passengers. 352,554 visitors passed through the airport in January 2007, which represents an all-time high of passengers handled in a single month by Gold Coast Airport.
