Whitsunday Coast Airport (IATA : PPP , ICAO : YBPN ), also known as Proserpine Airport , is located in Gunyarra , Queensland , Australia, 14 kilometres (8.7 mi ) south of Proserpine . The airport serves the mainland and offshore islands with flights to Brisbane (Alliance Airlines , Jetstar , Virgin Australia ), Sydney and Melbourne (Jetstar).[2]
In the year ending 30 June 2014, the airport handled 282,000 passengers.[3] It is expected that by 2035 the airport will be handling in excess of 900,000 passengers.[4]
History [ edit ]
Plans to build an airfield in Proserpine commenced in 1936, however construction was delayed due to a lack of funding. Construction of the airport finally began in 1950.[5] The aerodrome was officially opened on 3 November 1951.[6]
In September 2001, the airport suffered heavily from the collapse of Ansett Australia , who at the time were the biggest operator out of Proserpine with direct services to Brisbane , Sydney and Melbourne . It also operated seasonal flights to the Gold Coast and Adelaide .
The airport underwent an upgrade in 2010. The upgraded terminal was officially opened on 20 December 2011.[7]
In January 2014, Whitsunday Regional Council announced it was to discuss with the Government of Queensland the process for designating the airport precinct a PDA (Priority Development Area). This would make the future process of extending the runway the relatively short distance required to receive international services easier and to alleviate the industrial land crisis that has been affecting the Whitsunday Region for many years.[8]
