## Description

Melon farms and coal-seam gas fields, not freight forwarders, define the country around Chinchilla in Queensland's Western Downs, and Chinchilla Airport (CCL/YCCA) is the working airfield of that economy. It is owned and run by the Western Downs Regional Council, with an asphalt runway 14/32 of roughly 1,066 metres and a 594-metre grass strip 03/21. There is no scheduled service, no cargo terminal and no customs post; movements are corporate and fly-in fly-out charters for the gas sector, agricultural and survey flights, and air ambulance work, with site upgrades part-funded by gas producer QGC. Genuine air freight is handled elsewhere: Toowoomba Wellcamp (WTB) and Brisbane (BNE) offer cargo handling and customs. Consignments then reach the district by road along the Warrego Highway within a few hours. For forwarders, CCL is a feeder for people and special flights rather than a cargo location.
