  "connection_tips": "Coonabarabran Airport (COJ) is a regional access aerodrome for Warrumbungle country, not a scheduled-airline connection point. The airport is valuable for private flying, medical access, local events, and visitors heading to Siding Spring Observatory or Warrumbungle National Park, but there is no regular commercial passenger network on the field to support normal airline-style transfers. If you arrive at COJ, the meaningful onward movement is by road into town or to a larger airport such as Dubbo or Tamworth.\n\nThat road segment is the part that needs planning. Distances in inland New South Wales are manageable but not trivial, and weather, wildlife, and night driving can all matter more than the airport itself. If your broader itinerary depends on a commercial departure later in the day, the risk sits entirely in the surface handoff, because COJ will not provide commercial recovery options if a charter or private arrival runs late.\n\nUse COJ with a destination-first mindset. Confirm the driver, road timing, and accommodation plan before travel, especially if you are visiting for astronomy events or national-park travel where arrival after dark may affect check-in or access. The airport is straightforward because it is small. The real connection issue is the inland road transfer that begins after the aircraft stops.",

  "terminal_info": "Coonabarabran Airport (COJ/YCBB) is a vital regional aviation facility located in the Warrumbungle Shire of New South Wales, Australia, serving the town of Coonabarabran. Known as the 'Astronomy Capital of Australia,' the airport is a primary hub for researchers and tourists visiting the nearby Siding Spring Observatory and the stunning Warrumbungle National Park. It plays a critical role in supporting regional tourism, agricultural services, and emergency air medical links, including the Royal Flying Doctor Service.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure at Coonabarabran is a modest and functional structure designed to manage the regional passenger volume. Inside, travelers will find a unified departures and arrivals hall, which includes basic check-in counters and a sheltered waiting area with seating. Amenities at the airport are focused on the essentials, such as clean restroom facilities and general information signage about the region's unique natural and astronomical attractions. Due to its regional focus and smaller scale, there are no extensive retail shops or diverse dining options available on-site, so visitors are encouraged to make any necessary food or supply purchases in the town of Coonabarabran before their flight.\n\nOperational capacity at Coonabarabran Airport is supported by two primary runways, with the main paved runway (11/29) measuring approximately 1,500 meters in length, which is capable of supporting regional turboprop aircraft and private charters. Navigation through the terminal is exceptionally easy due to its compact and logical layout. For ground transportation, the airport is located about 10 kilometers from the town center, with private vehicle transfers and local transport options readily available to transport visitors to their final destination or to the observatory and national park entrances.",
