Brisbane Airport plans to invest more than $5 billion in the next ten years to upgrade both terminals, build extra car parking, develop a regional aeromedical hub, expand Skygate and DFO, and build more freight facilities.

“We are well-placed to develop the airport’s air connectivity further to meet travel demand, but BNE’s connectivity on the ground is equally important.

To cater to this demand rise, BAC is consulting with its airline partners about the shape of a future Terminal 3.

“We are running out of terminal capacity, and we’re looking at the best location, together with our airline partners, for where that new terminal will go.

Today, 24,000 people come to work at Brisbane Airport, and we know there will be another 10,000 jobs created on-site in the coming decade.

“Terminal 3 will be state of the art so that will be a terminal we’ve built for the 2030s. We think it will be in between the two runaways because that’s the perfect location to minimise aircraft taxiing, and it is close to our current domestic terminal,” according to Gert-Jan de Graaff, CEO of Brisbane Airport Corporation.

We need the domestic capacity to cater for demand.

Queensland’s tourism industry relies on BNE to deliver interstate and overseas guests to support the $23 billion tourism economy, which employs 1 in 12 workers.

Every day, farmers and small businesses depend on Brisbane Airport to send their goods around the globe.

Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) is planning for the future, with an estimated 50 million passengers forecast to travel through its terminals yearly by 2040.

Brisbane is a uniquely positioned hub, flying to 53 Australian destinations, more than any other airport. Every day around 60,000 people rely on the airport for holidays, to connect with loved ones, to get urgent medical treatment, for business, and FIFO work. All levels of government must collaborate to ensure fast, reliable and affordable road and public transport connections for travellers and workers to BNE.

We might even allocate some international traffic there to provide better connectivity between domestic and international flights.” In the past year, $1.9 billion worth of time-critical exports, including beef, seafood and manufactured goods, were dispatched from BNE.

We know that come 2032, Brisbane Airport will provide the first and last impression for all Olympic and Paralympic visitors, and we take that responsibility very seriously.” A few of our domestic airlines will likely go into Terminal 3.

We need mass transit connections to the CBD and Brisbane suburbs, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.” BNE is also well positioned as a gateway for North American and South East Asia flights.
