History

Brisbane's original main airport was Archerfield Aerodrome to the south-west of the CBD. A smaller airstrip existed at Eagle Farm, which was where the Southern Cross first landed in Australia after its trans-Pacific flight in 1928.

Year 1928 (MCMXXVIII) was a leap year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...

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 considerably upgraded Eagle Farm airfield to cater for military flights. After the war this became Brisbane's main civilian airport with many of the original hangars used as passenger and freight terminals, up to the 1980s. Combatants Allied powers: China France Great Britain Soviet Union United States and others Axis powers: Germany Italy Japan and others Commanders Chiang Kai-shek Charles de Gaulle Winston Churchill Joseph Stalin Franklin Roosevelt Adolf Hitler Benito Mussolini Hideki Tōjō Casualties Military dead: 17,000,000 Civilian dead: 33,000...

The 1980s was the decade spanning from 1980 to 1989, also called The Eighties. The decade saw social, economic and general upheaval as wealth, production and western culture migrated to new industrializing economies. ...

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.^[3][4] The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, also called The Seventies. ...

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.

In 1995 the Australian Federal Government announced it would be selling its airports around Australia. The airport was acquired on a 50 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, being researched in conjuction with QUT.^[1] The airport is also a partner in the Australia TradeCoast economic development zone.

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.^[5] Year 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Airport Development Projects

International Airport Expansion

Brisbane Airport commenced a $340 million dollar expansion in October, 2006 of the International Terminal, to be completed by the end of 2008.

The expansion of the terminal will feature:

• A new multi-level undercover carpark.
• Additional arrival facilities
• Additional check-in facilities.
• Expanded apron area on the northern side of the facility.
• Increased comfort for passengers throughout the terminal.
• Two extra baggage claim carousels to make a total of 9.
• Two new aircraft gates capable of handling the Airbus A380 aircraft. The two new gates will have the ability to either handle one wide-body aircraft per gate or two narrow body-aircraft per gate.
• Will increase the number of retailers to 56.

New Parallel Runway

Brisbane Airport's annual passenger numbers are expected to reach more than 25.6 million by 2015 and around 50 million by 2035.^{[citation needed]} A new second runway was approved by the Australian Government in 2007, and is under-construction at present. It will be completed by 2015. The runway will be 3600m in length and cater for both international and domestic traffic. It is situated 2km west north-west of the current 01/19 runway.

Airport-Link Toll Tunnel

To help relieve congestion between Brisbane and the Airport, the Queensland Government, Brisbane City Council, and a Leighton's/Macquarie Bank consortium are constructing the longest tunnel in Australia (over 8km; 6 lanes) from the ICB, North South Bypass Tunnel Interchange (the 2nd longest tunnel in Australia) to an improved Gateway Overpass which will lead on to Airport Drive, cutting 16 sets of traffic lights.

Northern Access Road

BAC is putting in place road infrastructure to meet the growing demand for access to Brisbane Airport. Once complete, the BAC-funded, five kilometre, multi-lane road will provide Airport users and tenants with a second major access route to the terminals and on-Airport businesses. The road is intended to be a secondary link to and from Airport and is to relieve congestion on Airport Drive. It is due to be completed in mid-2009.

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.^[24] This page is a candidate to be copied to Wiktionary using the Transwiki process. ...

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 mins, and added approx AU$15 to the cost of a taxi fare.^[25]

A planned deviation of the gateway motorway is expected to alleviate congestion and is due for completion in 2010.^{[citation needed]}

Brisbane Airport Corporation has been criticised for allowing more development to go ahead on airport land which is expected to bring even more traffic congestion.

The "Southern Cross" at the international terminal

The "Southern Cross", which was piloted by Australian aviator, Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, and which was the first aircraft to fly across the Pacific Ocean (travelling from San Francisco, California to Brisbane in 1928), is now preserved and displayed in a special glass "hangar" close to the International Terminal.
