Brisbane Airport makes space for grounded aircraft

Brisbane Airport has brought forward the decommissioning of a cross runway to create additional parking space for grounded aircraft.

The move is among a number of measures undertaken to help airlines store unused planes, including creating 10 dedicated parking zones, accommodating 100 aircraft free of charge and facilitating bays being switched back on when needed.

The airport has pledged it will “keep the lights on and the front door to Queensland open” despite operating a heavily reduced service.

Chief executive Gert-Jan de Graaff said, “The cross runway was to be decommissioned in May as part of the Operational Readiness and Testing program for Brisbane’s new runway, but in these unprecedented times it was crucial that we do everything we can to support our airline partners, so we brought this process forward.

“We have created an additional 10 dedicated parking zones to accommodate the increased demand, including runway 14/32, Taxiway Papa (the original decommissioned runway for BNE), the logistics apron and various other aprons that have been modified to accommodate additional aircraft.

“Alongside the provision of aircraft parking free of charge, we are working with the airlines to offer support on a case by case basis to assist when and where we can.

“Despite the challenges we’re all currently facing, we should remain confident that recovery will come and that we must be ready to not only return to normal, but to prosper.

“Brisbane Airport is confident and standing ready to support the many industries reliant on 24/7 connectivity across Australia and the globe.”

I am getting a bit confused as i keep seeing all these airlines are not suppose to be flying to BNE currently but they are.

EVA is in again today the 3rd time in a week.SQ 265 came in yesterday.Korean Air 787-9 landed earlier and also Emirates 77W also.

None of these 4 should be here but i guess they are carrying freight.

Skytraders have been in twice this week and Omni is showing all up 3 flights to BNE this week as well.

Solomons flew BNE-HIR-BNE yesterday.Air Kirabati flew to TRW for the first time 2 days ago.

There are still about 40 airlines flying to BNE still and today we have Townsville Airlines B1900.

Yesterday Seair Twin Otter did 2 flights.

The fifo business is busier than usual with Alliance very busy as well as Corporate Air,Hevilift,Skytrans and some REX flights.
Small carriers such as Machjet,GWA,and Austrek are doing flights as well.

BNE handled close to 270 movements yesterday with PER being the busiest capital city airport in Australia for movements with BNE 2nd.

SYD was 3rd.

IKJ flew out to Tarawa (04:51) and back to BNE (05:25) and then back to Wellcamp

https://flightaware.com/live/flight/VHIKJ

Yesterday VH-ZNI QF7028 flew Lima to BNE .This flight had around 115 pax on board for repat people wanting to get home.

To my knowledge this is the first pax flight non stop to BNE from anywhere in Sth America.:)

https://www.flickr.com/photos/794876...in/dateposted/

Today another historic flight for BNE.

VH-VPD 77W CDG-BNE non stop without pax on board.Around a 19 hr flight non stop.

Looks like VH-OFB will be joining her sisters at LIFEFLIGHT

All 3 have been converted into medical aircraft. This is a new market which is gaining momentum in this country.

Not a new market, just sadly a growing one, lifeflight have had a 604 and some Lear 45s donated by SIngapore Air on the books since at least 2010. Pel Air have also been active in the market with their Westwinds from 2007

I have been a bit quiet recently due to issues at home.

Our current viewing area reopens tomorrow but our new viewing area has been put on hold till airport traffic resumes and income comes in to BAC.

Anyway up here in QLD we are still getting decent movements weekdays and around 237 movements on Wednesday this week was our busiest for awhile and 2nd only to PER in recent times.

Today we had our first MU 77W ever with a 2nd one on Sunday.:)

Nearly 40 airlines including military,freight,pax,regional,fifo,international are still flying through BNE on a weekly basis including 5 or 6 small commuters.
The Big boys such as EK,Hi fly,CX,SQ,MH,MU,KE,BR,CI,QF,VA and smaller internationals such as ON,IE,PX, are still flying usually freight or repat pax.

Today we had our 4th flight of Hevilift PNG to BNE in the past 6 weeks or so.

Domestically Skytraders,QF,VA,QQ,HT,Corporate,Skytrans,Gam air,REX and more are also very busy.

I believe that another Alliance F70 due next week on delivery?

https://www.flickr.com/photos/794876...h/49896638196/

The F70 (VH-NUY) did a test flight on 12/5 and is still sitting in BTS last time I checked.

New flight paths will commence off of the current 01R-19L runway this Thursday 21May 2020.There won't be too much of a difference,however it is best to get this up and running before the new 01L-19R opens in 8 weeks time.Lots of new Sids and stars about to start at BNE.

Also Qatar resume BNE this Thursday as well with the A350-1000 which will be the first of type for BNE.

Today we had the first CX 350-1000 departure ever.
BNE also had Alpha 3 departures today and 5 Heavies used the shorter runway.

Our SAA 340 was cancelled today sadly.

I posted 26 photos on the flickr from yesterday and today.Hope you like.

Charts are listed Here on the Air Services Australia pages

Yep after i posted the photos i read the Notam about Alpha 1 closed but could be open with 15 mins notice.I didn't have my scanner with me and the confusing thing was PX 763 used full length in the middle of the other Heavy departures using Alpha 3.

Thanks Adrian.:)

THAI had a 359 into BNE today.First time for this aircraft type of TG.

Nice photos! Any departure time yet? Hoping by a stroke of luck it will fly over SYD on its way back to JNB.

ZS-SNF Scheduled to depart back to JNB at 14:10 AEST as SAA2983.

Seems to have been delayed by an hour and a half.
