Gold Coast Airport (IATA: OOL, ICAO: YBCG) – formerly known as Coolangatta Airport – is an international airport located at the southern end of the Gold Coast. The entrance to the airport is situated in the suburb of Bilinga, located approximately 90 km (56 mi) south of Brisbane as part of the South East Queensland agglomeration. The main runway itself cuts through the Australian state borders of Queensland and New South Wales, though the airport operates on Queensland Time (year-round AEST / UTC+10).

The facility occupies 371 hectares (917 acres) of airport property.
