History
The Noosa Airport opened in December 1975 as the hub for Noosa Air, owned by Whitaker Pty Ltd.[4] In 1981, a second airline, Sunstate Airlines, used the airport as its hub before merging with Noosa Air in 1983. Sunstate was also owned by Whitaker Pty Ltd.[4] In the 1980's the airport was closed to fixed-winged aircraft due to its proximity to the Maroochydore Airport.[4] Sunstate Airlines was rebranded QantasLink in 2001.[4]
