## Description

221,503 revenue passengers in 2024/25 and a single 1,920-metre asphalt runway mark the scale of Gladstone Airport (IATA: GLT, ICAO: YGLA) in Central Queensland. QantasLink and Virgin Australia fly several times daily to Brisbane, with regional services to Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville and Cairns; all freight travels as belly cargo on those flights. A Qantas Freight station on site accepts and releases consignments on every flight and Toll Air Express handles Virgin Australia shipments, but there is no palletised cargo terminal and no scheduled freighter service. The region's bulk exports — LNG, alumina, aluminium and coal — leave through the deep-water Port of Gladstone, one of Australia's largest, and by rail from the Bowen Basin. International air freight requiring customs clearance is consolidated at Brisbane (BNE), about 550 road kilometres south, with Rockhampton (ROK) just over 100 kilometres north-west as the nearest regional alternative.
