About Mount Gordon Airport
Mount Gordon Airport (GPD, ICAO: YGON) is a small outback airfield in northwest Queensland that primarily supports mining operations around Gunpowder and the Capricorn Copper Mine. It serves charter, general aviation, and fly-in fly-out travel rather than scheduled commercial airline services.
The airport is located near Gunpowder, roughly 100 kilometres north of Mount Isa in the City of Mount Isa local government area. It has a single sealed runway, 08/26, approximately 1,170 metres long, suited to light aircraft and the small corporate or charter flights used by mining crews and visitors.
Because of its remote setting, road connections link the airfield to nearby mine sites and to Mount Isa. Ground access is generally arranged through mine operators, private transfers, or rental vehicles, as public transport options are limited.
For travelers heading to the Mount Isa region or nearby mining operations, Mount Gordon Airport functions as a practical point of arrival, with basic airfield facilities and onward travel organized on a small, local scale.
