About Sunshine Coast Airport

Sunshine Coast Airport is a public airport located in Marcoola, roughly 10 km north of Maroochydore, serving the broader Sunshine Coast region in Queensland, Australia. Identified by the IATA code MCY, it handles domestic and some international services for airlines such as Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Australia, and provides terminal facilities, car parking, ground transport and related passenger services. The airport is owned by Sunshine Coast Council and operated by Palisade Investment Partners, with its official online presence at sunshinecoastairport.com.au.

A charge showing as “MCY PID1060070” or similar on a card statement is very likely related to a transaction processed at Sunshine Coast Airport. This may include on-site car parking (short‑ or long‑term), ground transportation, airport-operated retail or service points, or fees associated with airline or terminal services processed through the airport’s merchant account. The “MCY” portion aligns with the airport’s IATA code, and the “PID” plus numbers is probably an internal point‑of‑sale, parking identifier, or terminal/location ID used by the airport or its payment processor.

To verify or resolve questions about this charge, cardholders should first match the transaction date and amount to any recent travel, parking, or visits to Sunshine Coast Airport, and check email/SMS receipts from airlines or parking bookings. Additional details (such as invoice or booking references) may be available through the airport’s parking booking portal or from the relevant airline if the payment was processed via the airport. If the charge is still unclear, customers can contact Sunshine Coast Airport via the contact information on their official website, or raise a query with their bank while they investigate; providing the full descriptor, date, and amount will help both the airport and the bank trace the specific transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the “MCY PID1060070” charge on my card mean?

The “MCY” portion refers to Sunshine Coast Airport’s IATA code, and the rest (such as PID1060070) is likely an internal terminal, parking, or point‑of‑sale identifier. This descriptor usually indicates a purchase or fee processed at Sunshine Coast Airport, such as parking, ground transport, or a service billed through the airport’s merchant account.

What types of transactions commonly appear as Sunshine Coast Airport charges?

Common Sunshine Coast Airport card charges include short‑ or long‑term car parking, prebooked parking, ground transport or shuttle services paid to airport-operated facilities, and certain airport fees or services processed directly by the airport rather than by individual airlines or retailers.

How can I confirm if this Sunshine Coast Airport charge is for parking?

Check whether the transaction date matches a day you entered or exited airport parking or used prebooked parking at MCY. Then review any parking confirmation emails, SMS messages, or license‑plate recognition receipts. If needed, contact Sunshine Coast Airport through their website with your vehicle registration, visit date, and the last four digits of your card so they can look up the parking transaction.

Can Sunshine Coast Airport place temporary holds or preauthorizations on my card?

Yes. Some parking or service transactions may involve a small temporary authorization hold to verify your card before the final amount is charged. These holds typically drop off automatically within a few business days, leaving only the final settled transaction on your statement.

How do I request a refund or dispute a Sunshine Coast Airport transaction?

If you believe you were incorrectly charged, first contact Sunshine Coast Airport using the contact details on sunshinecoastairport.com.au, providing the transaction date, amount, and full statement descriptor (for example, “MCY PID1060070”). If the airport confirms an error, they can process a refund. If the issue remains unresolved or appears fraudulent, you should then contact your card issuer to initiate a dispute.

Why is the merchant name not clearly shown as Sunshine Coast Airport on my statement?

Airports and payment processors sometimes use shortened or coded merchant descriptors due to character limits in card networks. For Sunshine Coast Airport, the MCY airport code plus an internal ID (like PID1060070) may be used instead of the full name, which can make the transaction look unfamiliar even though it is legitimate.

Can I get a tax invoice for a Sunshine Coast Airport charge on my card?

Yes. If you require a tax invoice, locate the transaction in your bank statement, note the exact date, amount, and descriptor, and then contact Sunshine Coast Airport via their official website. They can typically issue or resend a tax invoice if you provide enough information to locate the transaction in their systems.

What should I do if I don’t recognize any visit to Sunshine Coast Airport around the charge date?

First confirm whether a family member or colleague with access to your card may have used airport services or parking. If no one recognizes the transaction and the date does not line up with any travel, contact Sunshine Coast Airport with the descriptor details to see if they can identify it, and simultaneously alert your card issuer so they can monitor for fraud and, if necessary, start a dispute process.
