## Description

Built around the coal economy of the Bowen Basin, Moranbah Airport (MOV) in central Queensland serves almost entirely fly-in fly-out traffic for the region's mines. Alliance Airlines and Qantas operate the charter and regular services that rotate shift crews from Brisbane and other cities, while mine supplies arrive mainly by road. There is no commercial freight terminal; time-critical air cargo is limited to belly space on the charter flights, and commercial consignments for the region route through Mackay and Brisbane. For forwarders, MOV is a specialist mining passenger airport rather than a freight node.
