Gold Coast Airport (Coolangatta Airport) OOLYBCG

Gold Coast Airport (OOL), also known as Coolangatta Airport, sits at the southern end of the Gold Coast and also serves Tweed Heads/northern NSW. It is not a major global alliance hub; think of it as a compact leisure, domestic and trans-Tasman gateway. Jetstar has an operating base here and Virgin Australia treats Gold Coast as a focus city, with scheduled services also listed by airlines such as Qantas, Air New Zealand, FlyPelican and Fiji Airways. Domestic and international flights use one main terminal, so transfers are walking transfers rather than inter-terminal moves. The airport operates on Queensland time year-round, even though the runway straddles the Queensland/NSW border.

Timezone: Australia/Brisbane
