The Gold Coast Airport, or formerly known as Coolangatta Airport (meaning 'Place of good view' in Aboriginal) is with around six million passengers a year, Australia's sixth busiest by passenger movement.
The Gold Coast Airport has grown very quickly recently with new international destinations in Asia and New Zealand by AirAsia, Tiger Air and Jetstar. Gold Coast Airport is also well connected to the major cities within Australia.
The airport has one terminal building handling both international and domestic flights.
Gold Coast Airport is not a large airport so there are not many flights departing here. There are only a few destinations that you can reach from Gold Coast Airport, most of these are operated by JetStar Airways. Many people take a flight to Perth and transfer to another flight there.
