On [[18 September]] [[2007]], the federal government granted approval for the construction of a new runway at Brisbane airport. The proposed $1 billion new runway would take approximately eight years to construct and would generate about 2,700 jobs. The 3,600-metre runway would operate parallel to the existing north/south runway.

The 3,600-metre runway would operate parallel to the existing north/south runway.


Proposals to build a parallel runway eventually (when it is necessary) have been the subject of controversy led by some local politicians. This was a key element of the airport's Master Plan, approved by the Australian Government in 2003. Under Federal Law, developments at major privatised Australian airports do not require approval by local or state planning authorities.<ref>{{citeweb|title=Airports Act 1996|url=http://bar.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/aa1996129/|publisher=Australasian Legal Information Institute

Brisbane Airport (IATA: BNE, ICAO: YBBN) is the sole passenger airport serving Brisbane and the third busiest in Australia, after Sydney and Melbourne Airports. Located in the suburb with the same name,[2] the airport serves the city of Brisbane and the surrounding metropolitan area.

It is a hub for Virgin Blue and its low cost international subsidiary Pacific Blue Airlines and a secondary hub for both Qantas and its low cost subsidiary Jetstar. It is also a hub for the newly developed Australian international airline, V Australia. It is part of the Brisbane–Sydney air route, which is the eleventh busiest passenger air route in the world, and the seventh busiest in the Asia-Pacific region.[3]

Brisbane Airport is home to Qantas' heavy 767-300 maintenance facility[4] and from early 2010, heavy maintenance work on the Airline's A330 fleet will be carried out at the facility[5]. Virgin Blue has a smaller maintenance facility at the Airport, where line-maintenance on the Airline's 737 fleet is performed[6]. Other airlines, namely QantasLink and Alliance also conduct maintenance at their respective facilities at the Airport[7][8].

The airport has international and domestic passenger terminals, a cargo terminal, a General Aviation terminal and apron as well as two runways. Brisbane Airport is accessible from the central business district by the Gateway Motorway and the Airtrain rail service, which is linked to the Citytrain suburban network. The new Airport Link motorway is planned to connect the Brisbane CBD and airport.

The airport was awarded the IATA Eagle Award in 2005, the second of only two Australian airports to receive such award.[9] Brisbane Airport was voted the best airport in the Australia-Pacific region and the airport with the friendliest staff in the world in the 2008 Skytrax World Airport Awards.[10] . In 2009 it was voted the best airport in Australia and again won the friendliest staff award for the Asia Pacific region.[11] The International terminal has also won the Queensland architecture award.[12]

History

Due to its flat surface, Eagle Farm, originally a farming area, was announced as an aerodrome in 1925.[13] Although Qantas started operations there in 1926, most of the flights in Brisbane operated at the Archerfield Airport, which contained a superior landing surface. While in operation, Charles Kingsford Smith landed there on 9 June 1928, after completing the first trans-pacific flight in his Fokker F.VII, the Southern Cross.[14] There is now a museum containing the original aircraft, along with a memorial.

During the Second World War, Brisbane was the headquarters of the Supreme Commander of Allied forces in the South West Pacific Area, General Douglas MacArthur. The United States armed forces upgraded the airfield to cater for military flights, bringing it to such a standard that it became the main civilian airport for the city.[13]

By the 1970s it was clear that the facilities at Eagle Farm were inadequate for a city of Brisbane's size and anticipated growth. The Federal Government announced the construction of a new airport to be built immediately north of Eagle Farm. The new airport was built by Leighton Holdings and opened in 1988.[15][16] The new airport was built on the former Brisbane residential suburb of Cribb Island that was demolished to make way for the airport. Large amounts of sand were pumped from nearby Moreton Bay to bring much of the swampy land above the range of tides.

As part of the privatisation of numerous Australian airports, the airport was acquired from the Federal Airports Corporation on a 99 year lease by a consortium of governmental and financial interests led by Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, which now holds the management contract for the facility. In line with Schiphol's overall policy, Brisbane Airport is now at the heart of a master-planned "Airport City" development.[2] The airport is also a partner in the Australia TradeCoast economic development zone.

Terminals

Brisbane Airport has two passenger terminals.

International terminal

The International Terminal has 12/14 (2 A380s or 4 A320s)[17] parking bays served by aerobridges. Overall, with the expansion of the international terminal, there are 12 parking bays through-out the terminal, 2 being A380 ready, the rest single[18].

The International Terminal has 4 levels: Level 1 houses airlines, baggage handlers and tourism operator, Level 2 handles arrivals, Level 3 houses the departure lounge, and Level 4 houses departure Check-in.

The airport also contains an Emirates Airline first class lounge, the first outside Dubai that has direct access to the A380 aerobridges (A380s do not at this point in time operate on scheduled services to Brisbane).[19] The terminal also features Air New Zealand, Qantas and Singapore Airlines lounges.

The terminal also has a 5 storey, $35m long term carpark and a smaller short term carpark.[19]

Domestic Terminal

The Domestic Terminal has three distinct areas serving Qantas and Qantaslink at the northern end of the building, Virgin Blue at the southern end of the building, and other carriers such as Jetstar and Skytrans are located in the centre at the common user section.

The Qantas concourse has 9 bays served by aerobridges including 1 served by a dual bridge. It has three lounges – the Qantas Club, Business Class and Chairmans Lounge. Virgin Blue occupies what was the former Ansett Australia end of the terminal. Its concourse has 11 parking bays, six of which are served by aerobridges (all single bridges). It has one lounge – The Lounge which is located in the former Golden Wing Club opposite Gate 41.

Remote bays are located to the north and south of the building (serving non-jet aircraft), and in the central area (serving jet aircraft).

Airport hotel

The Novotel Brisbane Airport is a 4.5-star hotel completed in December 2009. Located adjacent to the International terminal the hotel is accessible by Airtrain or shuttle bus running between the hotel and the domestic and international terminals. The six-storey hotel offers 157 rooms, conference rooms for up to 120 persons, restaurant, bar and lounge area, gymnasium and a rooftop pool.[20]

Development projects

Domestic terminal expansion

Brisbane Airport will commence a $350 million dollar expansion of the domestic terminal late in 2008.[21] Highlights include the introduction of a new check-in hall on the upper level (as what is featured in Sydney and Melbourne domestic terminals), an expansion of the common user satellite which will result in an extra 7 gates, an expansion of the terminal to the north (which will provide more gate and lounge space), construction of another multi-level carpark and a central energy plant.[22] On 13 April 2009, it was announced that completion would be delayed till 2014 due to the global financial crisis.[23]

New parallel runway

The front of the International Terminal

On 18 September 2007, the federal government granted approval for the construction of a new runway at Brisbane airport. The proposed $1 billion new runway would take approximately eight years to construct and would generate about 2,700 jobs. The 3,600-metre runway would operate parallel to the existing north/south runway.

Proposals to build a parallel runway eventually (when it is necessary) have been the subject of controversy led by some local politicians. This was a key element of the airport's Master Plan, approved by the Australian Government in 2003. Under Federal Law, developments at major privatised Australian airports do not require approval by local or state planning authorities.[24]

The business case for new parallel runway[25] was based on the premise of continuing growth in air traffic demand and assumed low fuel prices into the future. Criticisms of these assumptions[26] have already been vindicated by cutbacks on the part of numerous airlines in response to increasing fuel prices. On April 13 2009, it was announced that the new parallel runway's construction would not commence till 2018 due to the global financial crisis.[23]

Road infrastructure

To help relieve congestion between Brisbane and the Airport, the Queensland Government, Brisbane City Council, and a Theiss/John Holland/Macquarie Bank consortium (BrisConnections) are building the Airport Link project. It will include the longest tunnel in Australia (over 8 km; 6 lanes) from the interchange between the Inner City Bypass and Clem Jones Tunnel (the 2nd longest tunnel in Australia) to an improved Gateway Overpass which will lead on to Airport Drive, cutting 16 sets of traffic lights. It is due for completion by mid 2012.[27]

The new Northern Access Road project, completed in Dec 2009, is expected to dramatically reduce traffic congestion on Airport Drive. The five kilometer, multi-lane road network, linking Gateway Motorway with the airport Terminals, provides airport users with a second major access route to terminals and on-airport businesses. [28]

Airport Drive congestion

Recently, traffic congestion has increased on the link known as Airport Drive. At the current stage, motorists may have to wait in traffic for up to 45 minutes to just enter the Airport Arterial Road.[citation needed]

A government endorsed rat run has been used to aid the congestion at the Airport Drive/Gateway Motorway during peak traffic periods by giving an alternative route to Airport Drive via Sugarmill Road and Lomandra Drive. $2 million dollars has been put aside to upgrade the Lomandra Drive end of Sugarmill Road, and is due for completion in 2010. [citation needed][29]

Due to the installation of traffic lights on the Airport Drive/Gateway roundabout, travel times from the airport to the city have now been increased by 30 minutes, and added approx AU$15 to the cost of a taxi fare.[30]

Operations

Brisbane, along with Sydney Airport, Melbourne Airport and Perth Airport, are having terminal modifications to accommodate the new Airbus A380. The A380 first arrived at Brisbane on 14 November 2005.

Brisbane Centre

The Brisbane FIR consists of New South Wales north of Sydney, all of Queensland, most of the Northern Territory and the northern half of Western Australia. It also contains the Australian Tasman Sea airspace. Brisbane Centre is located adjacent to Brisbane Tower at Brisbane Airport. It also contains Brisbane Approach.

Due to the nature of the airspace it controls most international flights in and out of Australia (except Indian Ocean flights), and domestic flights operating to airports within the FIR. From Brisbane Centre, Airservices Australia manages the airspace over the northern half of Australia, representing 5 per cent of the world’s total airspace[31]. As only two of eight capitals are located in the Brisbane FIR, it handles a lesser volume of traffic than Melbourne Centre. However, Sydney is on the border of the two FIRs, and thus Brisbane Centre has control of flights arriving or departing in Sydney from the North.

Traffic and statistics

Brisbane Airport, along with Sydney Airport, Melbourne Airport and Perth Airport, have had terminal modifications to accommodate the new Airbus A380, The A380 first arrived at Brisbane on 14 November 2005. Brisbane Airport's annual passenger numbers are expected to reach more than 25.6 million by 2015 and around 50 million by 2035[32] Brisbane Airport recorded more than 18.5 million passengers in 2007–08. 4.1 million of those were international, with the remaining 14.4 million being domestic[33]
