Summary edit

Description
English: Coolangatta Airport opened in 1936 with three grass strips intended as an emergency landing ground between Brisbane and Sydney. Occasional passenger flights commenced in 1939.

Queensland Airlines and Butler Air Transport commenced regular services after WW2. Ansett-ANA started flying to Coolangatta in 1950 and Trans Australia Airlines in 1954. The runway and taxiways were paved in 1958 to allow the operation of larger aircraft and jet operations.

In 1988 it was transferred to the Federal Airports Corporation and in 1999 was renamed Gold Coast Airport.
