## Description

AYQ exists for one reason: Uluru, the monolith barely 20 kilometres away. Ayers Rock Connellan Airport in Australia's Northern Territory is a pure tourism field serving the Ayers Rock Resort at Yulara, with direct flights by Jetstar, Qantas and Virgin Australia from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Cairns. It has no meaningful air cargo function and no freight terminal; the aircraft carry visitors, not goods. The resort is resupplied overwhelmingly by road truck along the Lasseter and Stuart Highways. Forwarders needing genuine air freight in the Red Centre should route via Alice Springs Airport, roughly 450 road kilometres to the north-east.
