  "connection_tips": "Coolawanyah Airport (COY) is a private station airstrip in the Pilbara, so any connection through it is really a managed transfer between remote aviation and station logistics rather than an airport-style passenger connection. There is no scheduled airline network on the field, no walk-up transport, and no reason to expect the airport itself to solve onward travel problems after landing. If you are arriving here at all, the trip is almost certainly tied to pastoral work, mining support, charter operations, or emergency access.\n\nThat means the connection plan has to be settled before departure from Karratha, Port Hedland, or whatever larger gateway is feeding the charter. The important questions are who is meeting you, whether the aircraft is going directly to Coolawanyah or through another Pilbara strip first, and what the fallback plan is if weather or operational priorities change. In remote Western Australia, the weak point is almost never terminal navigation. It is the long-distance coordination that surrounds the flight.\n\nUse COY only with a fully managed itinerary. Carry water, phone charge, and offline contact details, and do not assume local services will help if the timing slips. If your broader trip depends on a commercial departure later, anchor that part at Karratha or Port Hedland and treat Coolawanyah only as the final specialized segment. The airstrip can work perfectly well for the people it serves, but it is not a place for improvised onward connections.",

  "terminal_info": "Coolawanyah Airport (COY/YCWY) is a remote and essential regional aviation facility located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, primarily serving the Coolawanyah Station. As a vital air link for one of the region's largest pastoral operations, the airport provides critical transportation for the local cattle industry, regional government services, and emergency air medical links, including the Royal Flying Doctor Service. It also facilitates the movement of personnel for the surrounding mining and mineral exploration sectors.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure at Coolawanyah is a basic and functional structure that reflects the rugged, working nature of an outback station airfield. There is no traditional passenger terminal building with commercial check-in counters; instead, the facility consists of a unified sheltered area used for flight planning and passenger waiting. Amenities at COY are focused on the essentials for station operations, such as clean restroom facilities and basic seating. Due to its remote location on a private working station, there are no public retail shops or dining options available on-site, and travelers are expected to be fully self-sufficient or have prior arrangements with the station management.\n\nOperational capacity at Coolawanyah Airport is supported by a single unpaved runway measuring approximately 1,200 meters in length, which is designed to support various light and medium-sized general aviation aircraft and the helicopters frequently used for cattle mustering. Navigation through the facility is exceptionally straightforward, with the airfield being integrated into the station's broader infrastructure. For ground transportation, the airport is located directly within the Coolawanyah Station complex, and onward travel is typically handled by private station vehicles. Visitors are advised to check local weather conditions and coordinate their arrival with the station, as the airfield is primarily for private and authorized use.",
