Cooma Snowy Mountains Airport guide

Cooma Snowy Mountains Airport sits at Coolringdon, about 17 kilometres south-west of Cooma on the Monaro plateau in southern New South Wales. Marketed as Snowy Mountains Airport, it carries the IATA code OOM and the ICAO code YCOM, and it lies roughly an hour's drive from the Snowy Mountains ski resorts.

The airport has one sealed asphalt runway, 18/36, measuring about 2,120 by 30 metres. A second gravel runway, 14/32, is no longer maintained or used. The small passenger terminal and apron lie at the northern end of the airport, west of the runway, with basic facilities such as toilets and refreshments. A fire destroyed the original terminal on 21 February 1964, and scheduled flights continued from temporary facilities while it was rebuilt.

Scheduled flights are seasonal. QantasLink has flown from Sydney and Brisbane in the winter ski season, with services reduced outside it. The airport was sold by the Snowy River Shire to a private operator in 2004, and it is owned by the Snowy Mountains Airport Corporation.
