Brisbane Airport Departures (BNE)

Flight Departures at Brisbane Airport

The Domestic Terminal at Brisbane Airport is currently undergoing redevelopment, which won't be completed until late 2020. The International Terminal is connected to the Domestic one by orange Terminal Transfer Buses and Airtrains, which also link to Brisbane city. Transfers between terminals are free of charge. Both terminals offer passengers not only check-in and lounges where they can wait before their flights, but also shops, dining and refreshments. There are also four parking facilities within a short walk of the terminals.

Airlines serving Brisbane Airport include Qantas and Virgin Australia, Jetstart Airways, Tigerair, China Airlines, Emirates, Cathay Pacific and Fiji Airways – in total, there are 31 airlines, offering flights to ca 50 domestic and around 29 international destinations. At present, Brisbane Airport is being used by over 23 million passengers annually. This is expected to grow to around 50 million by 2035.

The International Terminal was built in 1995, boasting 14 bays with aerobridges, of which four can handle A380s. International Terminal has four levels. Level 3 contains departure lounges airside, Level 4 the departure hall and check-in desks.

The Domestic Terminal is a two-storey building with three satellite arms extending outwards to give passengers more lounges and airlines more gates. Flights leave daily to Rockhampton, Mount Isa, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Cairns and Melbourne, to name but a few domestic destinations.
