Q: How long can I stop for when dropping off or collecting my passengers?
Stopping for excessive periods of time can cause heavy traffic delays. To make sure everyone gets to their destination on time, the pick up and drop off areas in the International and Domestic Terminals are strictly ‘No Standing’ zones, meaning passengers must be ready for immediate pick up. Drivers who are seen to be waiting will be asked to move on by Airport staff. At no point can a driver leave their vehicle unattended.
If you get there early, head to the designated pick up waiting areas located near both Terminals until your passengers are ready. You can wait for up to 30 minutes free at the Domestic Terminal and 10 minutes free at the International Terminal. Alternatively, try waiting for your passengers in one of these places.
Q: I’ve arrived early and my passengers are delayed what should I do?
If you’ve arrived early and don't want to wait in the designated waiting areas, why not head to the BNE Service Centre near Brisbane Airport to grab a coffee or bite to eat. Once your passengers are ready to be picked up, make your way back to the pick up area.
Want to play tourist in your own city? Why not visit the Kingsford Smith Memorial, located opposite the International Terminal, to learn about early aviation while you wait for your passengers.
Q: Why is there no stopping on any of the airport roads?
All airport roads are signed “No Parking” or "No Stopping" for a number of safety and security reasons. Please note, failing to adhere to these rules may result in a traffic infringement notice.
