Our airport has been connecting Brisbane to the world since the 1980s. Now the original runway needs major works to keep passengers safe.
Major rectification works will see 18 aging concrete slabs replaced at the end of the original runway. These slabs need to reliably carry up to 560,000 kilograms (the weight of an A380 ready for take off).
Weather permitting, the project will commence on 24 June and finish by the end of September.
At all times, the airport will remain open. People may notice temporary changes to where aircraft fly during this major work. Learn more here: https://www.bne.com.au/corporate/projects/future-bne-projects/broader-airport-precinct/runway-major-works
