Work on the Sunshine Coast’s new $347 million international airport will begin early next year after the Federal Government approved a $181 million concessional loan for a new runway and terminal. The upgrade which is expected to take four years will allow more direct international flights, currently there are only seasonal flights to New Zealand. Domestically the airport has limited flights south and none north. With the upgrade, 787 Dreamliners will be able to fly in from Asia.
