Brisbane Airport is the official name of the Airport. Please leave the article with this name. The airport is a very large one, with both an International Terminal and a Domestic Terminal. Figaro 06:33, 7 December 2005 (UTC)


Do Lufthansa and British Airways fly to Brisbane? From what I know, they only code share on Singapore Airlines and Qantas respectively, but I do not think they use their own metal to land in Brisbane. 11:30, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Full information about all the airlines can be found at the official Brisbane Airport website. There is a link to the Brisbane Airport official website at the 'External links' section of the main article. Figaro 14:53, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Brisbane Airport infobox

In spite of what Zyxw claimed, he hasn't fixed what I was trying to fix, at all. I wanted "Brisbane" to link to "Brisbane", "Queensland" to link to "Queensland", and "Australia" to link to "Australia", the way things used to be, before the info box format was changed, and the way it should be. I did not want "Brisbane, Queensland, Australia" to link to "Brisbane", which is how Zyxw has left it. So the problem remains, unresolved. Figaro 15:58, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I have modified the infobox so that "Brisbane" links to "Brisbane", "Queensland" links to "Queensland", and "Australia" links to "Australia". Unfortunately, there are now square brackets appearing before "Brisbane", and following "Australia". Any suggestions as to how to cure this problem would be appreciated.
People in other countries have adopted a similar way of doing things to correct the situation, until the problem no longer exists with the infobox. Figaro 07:09, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
Figaro, as I said at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports/infobox#Olds-Didsbury Airport Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aviation/Infobox Airport/Archive 3#Olds-Didsbury Airport, what's the problem? The state/division and country are specified in the article proper, the infobox just gives a quick link for the area served. Thanks/wangi 00:08, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Destinations

I removed the destinations from the Qantas list that are not served by their own metal (Nadi and Osaka). Those destinations are flown by their partners Air Pacific and Japan Airlines respectively. Furthermore, I've also added destinations for Air NZ, they also fly to Wellington and Queenstown, and some of Garuda's flights extend to Auckland Arnzy 10:47, 1 February 2006 (UTC)


Hi. The routes to Japan are often mis read. First, I had the argument that JAL flew to Tokyo, not JALways. But now I would like to challenge a route that Jetstar takes. It said the Jetstar flew to Kansai from Brisbane. This is true but you must connect through Sydney. Although you would stay on the same aeroplane, the flight number between BNE-KIX changes in Sydney meaning it is not a direct flight. EG: Flight 001, SYD-KIX. FLIGHT 002, KIX-SYD via BNE. That is how it works. If you are not sure, please check Qantas schedualing. Aflumpire 20:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, should've made myself clearer, and also am just complying to WP:Airports guidelines. It's a triangle route, if JQ didnt fly to BNE from KIX in any way at all (for example if it just went KIX-SYD-KIX) then it should not be listed. If it goes a triaagle route (KIX-BNE-SYD-KIX), then its okay to be listed. Also, there are a few airlines that does this (eg the QF SYD-BOM-DRW-SYD route) See the guidelines of the Airports wikiproject i've just refered to. --Arnzy (talk · contribs) 23:48, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that! Now I understand. Aflumpire 07:02, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

China Eastern seasonal route was a trial service that was not successful. Flights will not be re-introduced next year. 216.73.175.222 (talk) 19:02, 18 March 2008 (UTC)ETA

[edit] History

Why is there no mention of Crib Island in this article? Factoid Killer 14:51, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

I've added a history section. This will begin with what existed in the area prior to building the airport and will then include some interesting historical facts about the airport itself including the various stages of construction and alterations. Factoid Killer 16:29, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Encyclopedia Article or Brochure?

This article doesn't look even remotely like an encyclopedia article. Instead we've put together a brochure for the brisbane airport. To top it off, the second anyone adds the sort of information that you'd expect to see in an encyclopedia, it's moved to the bottom because we don't want it getting in the way of the brochure!

Sorry guys but this is ridiculous. I propose we remove the Brochure and write a wikipedia article.

Factoid Killer 13:40, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

More specifically i'm suggesting we do the following:

  1. Remove this section 'Access to Brisbane Airport by car and train'
  2. Put the History section back at the top (like it is in the Kingsford Smith International Airport article)
  3. Followed by terminals
  4. Add more information about the history of the airport
  5. Add some more statistics about the airport

Factoid Killer 13:46, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Most of this has since been done by various editors. --Arnzy (whats up?) 09:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What's with all the runways?

Listed in this article are six (!) runways. I thought, wow this must be a huge airport, so I took a quick glimpse in Google Earth and I could find exactly 2 runways; 01/19 (11,709 feet seems closest of the two 01/19 in the list) and 14/32. So, what is this all about? --Unsound 04:01, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

It currently only has 2, as you surmised. The extra 4 were only just added 5 days ago. They were added by User:Figaro who could explain why the extra 4 were added. Rimmeraj 04:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I did not add the extra 4 runways - somebody else did. I merely tidied up the infobox. Incidentally, it would appear that 'two' of the runways listed are probably the same one - but I am only guessing. Figaro 09:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Arnzy fixed it while we were discussing ;) --Unsound 13:03, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Apologies Figaro for assuming you intended to add the runways, I appears you unintentionally added the extra runways as they were added during an edit you made when tidying up the info box. Removing them was the correct action then. Rimmeraj 22:24, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge of Brisbane Airport Corporation Limited into this article

The following discussion is archived. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

The result was merge. Euryalus (talk) 01:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

As part of my companies cleanup project, I have come across the above article and there does not seem to be a real need for a seperate article on the managing corporation. All if not the majority of information contained within the article in question is relevant to the airport and would be better served by it's merger into the Brisbane Airport article with a small section covering the BACL in respect of it being the management and holding company for the airport. Thewinchester (talk) 14:25, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I'll read both & chime in with what I come up with. E dog95 02:23, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
I've looked at the articles & the proposal appears to be a "no brainer". This will simplify and consolidate information regarding the airport. I'd be willing to start the process. E dog95 04:19, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
I support the merge. I've just did an edit of Brisbane Airport Corporation Limited, and what I intended to be a quick link fix ended up also combining no less than three mentions of BAC's ownership into one, and the removal of a PR-esque, prophetic sentence of the proposed parallel runway "open(ing) up (BNE) to the new Airbus A380" – it has already been without it. The article is smaller now and even more suited as a section in Brisbane Airport. Seo75 01:14, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Given the unanimous support for a merge and the absence of any comments for six months, I have merged the relevant data from the Corporation page under a subheading of "Management" in this article. The bulk of material from the Corporation page was already here, so all we had left was a paragraph on the ownership of the Airport Corporation company and the lease length. Feel free to change my wording, it was largely a cut and paste and isn't exactly rivetting prose. Euryalus (talk) 01:49, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I was pointed in the direction of this article from the "articles needing attention" area on the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Aviation project page. I've started tidying up the minor grammar mistakes, but there's quite a bit of style & presentation work to be done. For instance, the whole first section is little more than disparate tidbits that aren't noteworthy.

Just chiming in to say what I'm up to. E dog95 02:22, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Hendra East West Art Nth.jpg

Image:Hendra East West Art Nth.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Section "Operations"

The section "Operations" was added on 9 April 2008, removed on 10 April, then—with slight modifications—added again a few hours later, only changing the name of "Kingsford Smith" to "Brisbane". However, the content of the table is still the same. To which airport to those numbers pertain? I'm asking because I can't verify those tables from the provided sources because they just lead to an index page and I haven't been able to find the documents which contain the numbers quoted.
I suggest to delete this section unless more verifiable sources are provided. Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:11, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

My suspicion is that the original poster of the content copied the table from the SYD page, and changes the numbers, forgetting to change the name of the table. The statistics are located in the following two PDFs http://www.bitre.gov.au/publications/24/Files/Domestic%20Airline%20Activity%20Annual%202006%2007.pdf http://www.bitre.gov.au/publications/04/Files/FY07.pdf On this rationale, I will be restoring the Operations section.

[edit] Suburbs around Brisbane Airport

According to Hamilton, Queensland and Ascot, Queensland, Brisbane Airport is to the North-East of these suburbs; doesn't that imply that they should be shown to the South-West of Brisbane Airport on this page? Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
