Brisbane airport stuff

Work commences in the next 2 weeks on both the Northern International apron expansion as well as the northern concourse expansion.2 new MARS gates will be joined to this concourse whilst on the western side of the concourse 4 new stand off walk on Bays will be introduced.MARS gates can accommodate 2 CODE F or 4 CODE C aircraft.

So basically BAYS 69-71 will be introduced on the western side of the concourse catering for 1 CODE F and 2 CODE E or 2 CODE C and 2 CODE E.

Gates 74 b,74A and 73B,73A will be the MARS gates attached to the eastern side of the new concourse.These will be dual aerobridge gates.

The ITB will then be able to handle 19 CODE F and E wide bodied aircraft or up to 26 aircraft if no CODE F aircraft are on the deck at the time.

If you also have a look at photo 1 you can see part of the recently completed Airpark at the top of pic 1 .This is about 40% of the actual size and is both public,staff parking as well as hire cars,coaches and taxis.

In regards to the auto mall work will commence next year.

Cheers.

I was up in Brisbane last week and could clearly see the sand fill settling where the new runway will be. Lloyd, when is the building scheduled to commence? Is it still years away.

Needless to say, we had 11 minutes holding over Coolangatta which gave a great view of the airport there with an A330 departing.

Morning James.

Work on the runway and taxiways commence around June,July next year and should be complete for a early 2020 start up.

I have heard both Jan and March mentioned for 2020 operations but i have also heard they are currently a few months ahead of schedule.

I hope this helps .

Cheers.
