History
The Noosa Airport opened in December 1975 as the hub for Noosa Air, owned by Whitaker Pty Ltd. 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. In the 1980's the airport was closed to fixed-winged aircraft due to its proximity to the Maroochydore Airport. Sunstate Airlines was rebranded QantasLink in 2001.
