What is going to change?

Are you runway ready?
Below is a checklist to help you get runway ready.
Search your address in the Flight Path Tool
The Flight Path Tool allows you to search any address in Brisbane to see if it is under any new flight paths. There is also an extensive Knowledge Centre containing information about flight paths and aircraft noise. The Flight Path Tool and Knowledge Centre can be accessed here (external site).
Talk to Team BNE at ‘Benny’
Team BNE is on the road with a mobile information centre, ‘Benny’, to help you get the facts on the new runway and what it means for you. Benny has information on flight paths and aircraft noise, the runway construction process, Brisbane Airport’s history and much more.
Benny activities are planned to restart in August. For updates on Benny visit here (external site).

This video explains the key elements of ORAT, including some of the safety, security and regulatory compliance requirements that must be met before Brisbane Airport can commence parallel runway operations.
Brisbane's new runway will open on Sunday 12 July 2020 and once open, will give Brisbane the most efficient runway system in Australia.
