Gold Coast Airport Terminal Redevelopment Project

The Gold Coast Airport's $100million terminal redevelopment is underway as stage one kicks off, set to more than double the size of the existing building to 27,000 square metres to cater for forecast passenger growth over the next ten years.

The focus is to ensure the terminal is fast and efficient for airlines and their passengers by taking a common user approach with one main check-in area for all airlines with self service kiosks, a single baggage collection and screening point, and one main departures and arrivals area. Whilst these renovations are for your future convenience, they may cause some temporary inconvenience.

Latest News:

Stage 3 of the Terminal Redevelopment Project is now open. This section at the Northern end of the Terminal includes the inbound Customs arrivals hall and primary line, an exciting new Duty Free Store, additional toilets, and the first of the two proposed baggage delivery belts.

This stage is a major step forward in the whole project. It delivers the impressive common user check-in area together with thirty two (32) of the thirty six (36) check-in desks, as well as the common user baggage make up room and the most modern baggage delivery and sortation system in operation at any Australian Airport.

CUTE, short for "Common User Terminal Equipment", is also to be rolled out at the Gold Coast Airport during Stage 3. This system really does cement the term "Common User" to the Terminal Redevelopment Project, and simply put, it means that Airline Staff can use every check-in, or customer service desk, throughout the Terminal, to access individual Airline computer systems, providing efficient passenger processing.

Stage 2 is now open On Tuesday 26 May 2009 we welcomed the opening of Stage 2 of the terminal redevelopment project.

Importantly, we also opened the new combined Passenger Security Screening point complete with six x-ray machines and accompanying metal detectors (walk throughs). This now provides us with a central screening point reducing waiting times at screening.

1 March new departure laounge is now open. Inside you will find great new food and beverage outlets including Sumo Salad, Hungry Jacks, Velocity, Aromas, Red Rooster, NRG, Eagle Boys and Take Me With You.
