Sunshine Coast Airport Airspace Changes Runway 13/31
Sunshine Coast Council led the Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Project and has delivered the new runway (Runway 13/31). The new runway and associated flight paths became operational on 14 June 2020.
These flight paths will change the way aircraft operate as they arrive and depart from Sunshine Coast Airport.
For more information on flight paths and aircraft operations, view our Fact Sheets here. Following community feedback, we have included both the minimum and average heights for departures, as heights for departures can vary depending on aircraft type. Heights for arriving aircraft continue to be presented as minimum heights, as heights for arrivals are less varied.
We have provided FAQs here.
