Goulburn Airport (IATA: GULICAO: YGLB) is a general aviation airport located 7 km south of Goulburn, New South Wales. Throughout the 1990s, suggestions were put forward to have Goulburn airport as a secondary international airport to service Sydney.[citation needed] This option was however discounted due to the hilly terrain and frequently overcast and foggy days, as well as its extreme distance from the city it would have served (Goulburn is closer to Canberra than Sydney), making a major international airport an impracticality.
