## Description

Gladstone runs on LNG trains, alumina refineries and one of the country's biggest aluminium smelters, and Gladstone Airport (GLT) serves the workforce and suppliers behind them. QantasLink and Virgin Australia operate daily flights to Brisbane, with regional links north to Rockhampton, Mackay and Townsville. Qantas Freight Ground Handling lodges and collects cargo on every flight, while Toll Air Express covers Virgin Australia consignments. The heavy industrial exports themselves move through the deep-water Port of Gladstone, so the airport's freight role centres on urgent parts and high-value shipments. That split makes GLT a practical air option for time-critical logistics in Central Queensland.
