## Description

At roughly 940 metres above sea level, Cooma Snowy Mountains Airport (IATA: OOM, ICAO: YCOM) is the air gateway to the New South Wales ski fields, busiest in winter when QantasLink adds seasonal flights to Sydney. It sits at Coolringdon some 17 kilometres southwest of Cooma and works from a single asphalt runway 18/36 of about 2,120 metres — long enough for narrowbody jets, yet without any cargo terminal, handling agent, cold chain or customs office. No scheduled freight operation has ever taken hold; the airport carries passengers, mail and belly load. Goods for the region — construction material for the Snowy hydro scheme as much as supplies for the Perisher and Thredbo resorts — arrive almost entirely by truck along the Monaro Highway. For air cargo, Canberra (CBR) about 100 kilometres north and Sydney (SYD) are the relevant airports, with Canberra usually the forwarder's first choice thanks to the short trucking leg.
