## Description

Gold Coast Airport (OOL) at Coolangatta, about 90 km south of Brisbane on the Queensland–New South Wales border, is among Australia's busiest airports, with roughly six million passengers a year. That volume underpins its freight role, since almost all of Australia's same-day air cargo travels in the belly holds of scheduled passenger flights. A dedicated Freight Terminal hosts Coast Cargo, a registered Cargo Terminal Operator handling Virgin Australia and acting as agent for Toll Air Express. Menzies Aviation, Swissport and Qantas Freight also operate here; Qantas lifts cargo in Jetstar aircraft on domestic and international services, alongside Air New Zealand flights. International routes to Asia and New Zealand give forwarders direct uplift without trucking to Brisbane. The terminal feeds straight onto the Pacific Motorway for regional distribution. For time-sensitive consignments, OOL is the strongest air-freight option south of Brisbane.
