## Description

Financial year 2026 was Gold Coast Airport's strongest for overseas traffic: 6.5 million passengers in total and international volumes up 25 per cent year on year. The airport (OOL, ICAO YBCG) sits at Coolangatta on the Queensland–New South Wales border, and that passenger density is precisely what gives it freight relevance, because nearly all Australian same-day air cargo travels in the belly holds of scheduled flights. A dedicated Freight Terminal hosts Coast Cargo as a registered Cargo Terminal Operator for Virgin Australia and agent for Toll Air Express, alongside Menzies Aviation, Swissport and Qantas Freight, which sells capacity in Jetstar aircraft. New services have widened the uplift options: Jetstar has flown to Hamilton and Dunedin since June 2025 and also serves Bali, Fiji Airways launched Nadi, and Qantas resumed Auckland in June 2026. The A$500 million Southern Terminal, opened in 2022 with three levels and swing gates, lets the airport shift stands between domestic and international operations. Road distribution runs off the Pacific Motorway, with Brisbane about 90 kilometres north and northern New South Wales immediately to the south. For forwarders, OOL offers direct trans-Tasman and Asian uplift without a truck leg to Brisbane.
