Distance & flight time from CCL

Chinchilla Airport

Chinchilla Airport handles general aviation traffic for a Western Downs farming town in Queensland best known for its melon harvests and, more recently, its coal seam gas boom. The single sealed runway supports agricultural charter work, aerial spraying operators, and the steady stream of fly-in fly-out flights ferrying gas-field workers to nearby Surat Basin project sites. CCL lacks scheduled airline service, functioning instead as a practical regional strip for landholders, mining contractors, and the Royal Flying Doctor Service, which occasionally uses the field for emergency medical evacuations from the surrounding wheat, sorghum, and cotton country west of Toowoomba.
