Faster security screening, 10 additional dining options and a new restaurant with a 360-degree view: Here's a look at Brisbane Airport's $5b upgrade.
The Brisbane Airport upgrade is set to be finished in 2032 to accommodate Queensland's growing population
It's part of the airport's Future BNE project, which includes more than 150 projects to transform the current facility ahead of the expected increase in travellers — set to climb by 10 million within the coming decade. A new mezzanine level will connect to the skywalk and allow passengers, who have already checked in online and are travelling only with carry-on baggage, to walk straight from the carpark to security screening.The airport will also see a much-needed upgrade to its baggage system, with the current systems merging into one to streamline the check-in and baggage claim process for passengers.
"We're able to build a new system that works for all airlines in the same way for check-in as well as reclaim of baggage."Passengers will also benefit from more self check-in facilities, bathroom refurbishments, and refreshed gate departure lounges."We're bringing the lounge experience from the business lounges into the terminal and making it available for every traveller at Brisbane Airport," he said.
"By implementing charging systems we're able to give the airline's on-ground handlers the opportunity to change their diesel fuel handling equipment into electric handling equipment, which is a big improvement from a sustainability perspective," Mr de Graff said.Head of Terminal Operations Stacy Pollard said the upgrade was due to be completed in time for the Brisbane Olympic Games.
