Take a tour of Gold Coast Airport and go behind the scenes of its major southern terminal expansion, officially opened in 2022. This three-level, 30,000sqm upgrade connects seamlessly to the existing terminal and features new international and domestic facilities—including a departures lounge, border control, four aerobridges, and swing gates that support both domestic and international operations.

The project created over 2,000 local jobs and includes new shops, cafés, six additional gates, a modern baggage handling area, seven escalators and nine lifts—enabling the airport to now accommodate up to 19 aircraft on the tarmac.

Discover the design and operational intent that ensures Gold Coast Airport is a premier gateway to the Gold Coast and northern NSW.

Please note: Guest names and contact details will be provided to the airport, who will contact you directly to arrange security passes. A valid form of ID will be required to issue your pass. Guests should also be aware that tours may be delayed or cancelled due to operational requirements on the day.
