More than 579,000 passengers passed through Queensland Airports Limited’s (QAL) four airports in February 2019.

This represents a 4.7 per cent downturn for the group, with fewer passengers at Gold Coast, Townsville and Longreach airports reflective of a downward trend in passenger numbers across Australia and ongoing capacity constraints by the airlines. However, QAL’s fourth port, Mount Isa Airport, bucked the trend to deliver another strong month of growth during February.
