Our airport has been connecting Brisbane to the world since the 1980s. Now the original runway needs major works to keep passengers safe.
Major rectification works will see 18 aging concrete slabs replaced at the end of the Legacy Runway.
Weather permitting, the project will commence on 24 June and finish by the end of September.
At all times, the airport will remain open. People may notice temporary changes to where aircraft fly during this major work.
The public waiting area at the Domestic Terminal and the overheight vehicle parking space are now closed. Construction is underway on an additional 1,700 parking spaces. Passengers with vehicles over 2.4m high will need to use AIRPARK, with free buses to and from the terminal. We recommend allowing extra time for travel.
If you're picking up a passenger from the Domestic Terminal, the first 30 mins of ParkShort is free of charge. You will find ParkShort at level 2 of the P1 car park.
With an ongoing commitment to road safety, Brisbane Airport is implementing permanent speed limit changes on selected roads. These speed limit changes will ensure a safer environment for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.
- The Skygate precinct has been reduced to 40km/h, except for the shared zone on 9th Avenue which remains at 10km/h.
- Airport Drive speed limits have been reduced to 60km/h at the International and Domestic Terminal precincts.
Brisbane Airport frequently undergoes runway maintenance. Planned maintenance coming up includes:
- 24 April Legacy Runway from 10am - 4pm
- 29 May Legacy Runway from 10am - 4pm
