In 2020, Brisbane Airport opened a new parallel runway, which introduced new flight paths – designed to suit the orientation of both runways, the locations they would service, the types of planes that would use them and the typical wind conditions. This major airport infrastructure development shaped how Brisbane’s airspace works today.

Airservices Australia plays a vital role in managing Brisbane’s busy skies. 

Our top priority is safety, while also balancing efficient operations, reducing environmental impact, and minimising aircraft noise. 

The Brisbane airspace system is large and complex with many factors to consider. 

At Airservices Australia, we are dedicated to providing safe, efficient and environmentally responsible services to the aviation industry and the community.
