Brisbane Airport is located in the Brisbane suburb of Brisbane Airport, Queensland, Australia. The airport is managed by Brisbane Airport Corporation Limited (BAC) and the current CEO is Koen Rooijmans. It is the third busiest airport in Australia after Sydney and Melbourne airports.
Brisbane Airport has an international terminal, a domestic terminal and a cargo terminal. Both of the passenger terminals have a number of shops and cafeterias.
The airport was awarded the IATA Eagle Award in 2005, the second of only two Australian airports to receive such award. Brisbane's $400 million parallel runway project is close to a reality after a dramatic rise in passenger numbers over the last 3 years.
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 November 14, 2005.
Brisbane Airport is accessible by road from Brisbane's Gateway Motorway and from the city, and by rail using the Airtrain service that is linked to the Citytrain network. A new Airport Link motorway is planned to connect the Brisbane CBD and airport.
On 18 September 2007, the federal government granted approval for the construction of a new runway at Brisbane airport. The $1 billion new runway will take approximately eight years to construct and will generate about 2,700 jobs. The 3,600-metre runway will operate parallel to the existing main runway at the Brisbane Airport.
