Noise Action Plan for Brisbane

​

​

​

​

Airservices Australia is working to increase the use of Simultaneous Opposite Direction Parallel Runway Operations (SODPROPS) at Brisbane Airport. Since the opening of the new parallel runway in 2020, SODPROPS has been the priority operating mode at Brisbane Airport at night from 10pm to 6am. In this mode, aircraft both arrive and depart over water. Arrivals come in over Moreton Bay to land on the new runway (known as 19R) and take off over water from the legacy runway (known as 01R).

SODPROPS is a complex operational mode that requires specific safety precautions as it has aircraft flying towards each other, safely separated in line with aviation standards, over a relatively small section of the Brisbane airspace.  SODPROPS is currently used only during night-time hours, as the current flight path and airspace design does not support daytime operation. There are also many more flights during the day and this also restricts the use of SODPROPS.

When conditions are unfavourable for SODPROPS, standard parallel runway operations are used, with approximately half of all flights either arriving or departing over Moreton Bay, depending on prevailing wind conditions.
