Gladstone Airport — Gladstone, Australia

GLT is Gladstone Airport, serving the major industrial port city of Gladstone in Queensland, Australia. Gladstone is home to large alumina refineries, a coal export terminal, and liquefied natural gas facilities, and GLT plays an important role ferrying industry workers, contractors, and fly-in fly-out staff to and from these operations. The airport also supports regional passenger connections to Brisbane and other Queensland centers, along with access to nearby Heron Island and the southern Great Barrier Reef for tourists. Because of its proximity to heavy industry, GLT sees a mix of scheduled regional airline services and charter flights tied to resource projects. Its runway has been upgraded over the years to accommodate the jet aircraft needed for this steady industrial and tourism-driven traffic.
