Orbx has recently announced the development of Gladstone Airport (YGLA) for Microsoft Flight Simulator, serving the city of Gladstone in Queensland (Australia) with a yearly average of 240,000 passengers (as of 2011).

It was built on a bulldozed airstrip in 1953, with work completed in 1956 and its official opening in 1957, although it had been frequently used a few months prior.

Nowadays, it’s owned and operated by the Gladstone Regional Council, which took the helm after the former owner (Gladstone-Calliope Aerodrome Board) was dissolved in 2007.

Bonza, QantasLink, and Virgin Australia currently serve it with flights to Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Melbourne.

The scenery will feature an up-to-date ground layout, custom runway and taxiway light models, and more.
