Brisbane BNE Airport Overview

The Airport is located 13 km, or a 20 minute drive, from the central district of Brisbane, in the suburbs of Queensland's capital city, and is accessible via the Gateway Motorway & the new Airport Link, as well as by Airtrain rail service.  A new 6.7 km toll road now connects the Airpot to the iner city bypass, reducing time during rush hours by 20 mins.
Brisbane Airport is only a 75-minute drive from the Gold Coast, and 1 hr-45 minutes from the Sunshine Coast. Add extra time to peak hours. The Information desks in both terminals can help you map out the best routes.

With two runways and an estimated 21.5 million passengers in 2011,  Brisbane Airport is hub for Virgin Blue, the low-cost subsidiary of Pacific Blue Airlines, and secondary hub for Qantas and its low-cost subsidiary Jetstar.  The Airport is served by national & international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all parts of the world.
Aeropelican is now offering three daily flights into the important Narrabri regional center for mining, gas & cotton, while Qantas flies to Dallas Fort Worth and Los Angeles.  QantasLink is gateway to regional Queensland areas.
