Gold Coast Airport (OOL), formerly known as Coolangatta Airport, is the primary airport serving Australia’s Gold Coast and the southern part of South East Queensland. Located at the southern end of the Gold Coast near the Queensland–New South Wales border, the airport provides direct access to one of Australia’s most popular coastal destinations.
For travellers arriving by private jet charter to the Gold Coast, Gold Coast Airport supports business aviation and private aircraft operations alongside its commercial airline services. The airport is frequently used by private aircraft travelling to the Gold Coast’s luxury beachfront resorts, golf courses and nearby hinterland regions.
Gold Coast Airport is well positioned for visitors exploring the wider region, including Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Burleigh Heads and the Gold Coast Hinterland. The airport’s modern infrastructure and long runway allow it to accommodate a wide range of aircraft used for private charter flights, from turboprops and light jets through to midsize and large cabin business jets operating domestic and international routes.
Private jet arrivals at Gold Coast Airport are supported by dedicated aviation service providers offering ground handling, aircraft refuelling, passenger processing and crew services for business aviation movements.
Brisbane’s city centre lies approximately 75 minutes north of Gold Coast Airport by road in light traffic, while helicopter transfers and private vehicle services provide fast connections between the airport and the Gold Coast’s major resorts and coastal destinations.
Thanks to its proximity to the coastline and major tourist districts, Gold Coast Airport serves as one of the most convenient aviation gateways for travellers flying privately to the Gold Coast and northern New South Wales.
