Brisbane, 13 August 2024 Construction starting on Aeromedical Precinct J&A_BAC_EmergencyServices_EarlyEdit_007 Brisbane Airport is commencing construction of an Aeromedical Precinct to serve Queenslanders in regional, rural and remote communities. The state-of-the-art project delivered in partnership with the Queensland Government will enhance emergency response capabilities across the State. Located between Brisbane Airport’s parallel runways for quick access, it will be home to aircraft and resources for Royal Flying Doctor Service, LifeFlight, Retrieval Services Queensland and Queensland Police Service Aviation Capability Group. The $217 million Aeromedical Precinct will have capacity for 26 aircraft and include 18,700 square meters of hangar and headquarters space, along with 17,800 square meters of tarmac parking. The precinct will provide parking for 450 staff. “There’s nothing like the scale of Brisbane Airport’s Aeromedical Precinct anywhere in the world. This groundbreaking project will significantly enhance the level of care for Queenslanders needing urgent treatment in Brisbane,” according to Brisbane Airport CEO, Gert-Jan de Graaff. In FY24, the Royal Flying Doctor Service flew 4,611 patients to Brisbane Airport. LifeFlight’s Air Ambulance jets airlifted 528 people, and its helicopters helped 552 people. Aeromedical_Stills_0002_Police A new patient transfer facility will care for people transitioning between aircraft and road ambulances. “Around 18 patients every day are flown in and out of Brisbane Airport. Those transfers between aircraft and ambulance will now take place inside a patient transfer hub at the core of the Aeromedical Precinct.” “Currently RFDS, LifeFlight and other emergency agencies are spread across Brisbane Airport, kilometers apart. The Aeromedical Precinct will bring them together in one location, centrally located between our two runways so they can quickly get into the air. Not only will these lifesavers work together, they’ll learn from each other." The facility will integrate and collate patient aeromedical retrieval and transport, clinical and logistic coordination, including statewide telehealth clinical and education support to rural and remote hospitals. The precinct will also feature hangars for fixed and rotary wing aircraft, administration areas, and a medical base for regional patient and donor transfers. “This is the largest multi-tenanted property built by Brisbane Airport, and we’re delighted its sole purpose is to serve the people of Queensland, in every corner of the state. Aeromedical_Stills_0008_Aerial High with labels “Brisbane Airport provides a vital 24/7 connection for Queenslanders in regional, country and remote communities who need critical care. “We want to commend the Queensland Government for its very strong support of the Aeromedical Precinct.” The development will be targeting 5 Star Green Star accreditation and includes a 400kW solar system. A café will provide staff in this growing precinct of the airport with a convenient place to recharge. ADCO Constructions is aiming for the completion of Aeromedical Precinct in December 2026 with 150 people employed on-site during the construction phase of the project, and more than 400 people working here once it is open. Quotes attributable to Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Shannon Fentiman: J&A_BAC_EmergencyServices_EarlyEdit_001 “We rely on aeromedical services to move patients needing care across our vast state, and the Queensland Government is committed to supporting world-class care for all Queenslanders, no matter where they live. “The new Aeromedical Hub at Brisbane Airport will transform the aeromedical network, supporting the continued safe, reliable, and efficient systems to deliver timely access to healthcare, especially in rural, remote, and regional areas. Quotes attributable to Retrieval Services Queensland A/Executive Director Michael Cussen: “We know demand for aeromedical services is growing. “In the last financial year, on average 60 patients were aeromedically transported every day throughout the state, with around 18 of those patients transferred to and from Brisbane hospitals via Brisbane Airport each day. “The Aeromedical Hub will co-locate Queensland Health’s statewide aeromedical services, ensuring a co-ordinated approach to delivering life-saving care. “The facility will have a purpose-built patient transfer facility to provide continued care for patients and optimise the efficient use of aeromedical assets by reducing the need to wait for ground transport during patient transfers in Brisbane.” Quotes attributable to Royal Flying Doctor Service (Queensland Section) Chief Executive Officer, Meredith Staib: Aeromedical_Stills_0001_RFDS “The RFDS (Queensland Section) team is excited to see construction begin on the new state-of-the-art Queensland Regional Aeromedical Base.” “We thank the State Government and our generous supporters for helping bring to life the vision of what will become a crucial patient care facility for many years to come.” “The RFDS (Queensland Section) transfers around thirteen thousand patients via aeromedical services every year, many of those via our Brisbane Base.” “We look forward to the opening of the brand-new patient facility in the future which will enable further important collaboration with our partners in care including LifeFlight and Queensland Health.” Quotes attributable to LifeFlight Chief Operating Officer Lee Schofield: Aeromedical_Stills_0003_LifeFlight “LifeFlight is delighted to join our Queensland aeromedical colleagues at what will become a premier super base to ensure we can collectively help more Queenslanders. “LifeFlight proudly calls Brisbane Airport home and from this base we’ve had another bumper 12 months across a range of rescue helicopter missions and international repatriations with our 604 Challenger jet. “Thank you to the Queensland Government, Brisbane Airport and our colleagues at Queensland Health – for their continued support.” Renders and images available here.

Brisbane,
12 September 2024 Brisbane International Terminal Transformation Revealed Brisbane Airport's future International Terminal revealed Watch the transformation video Relocation of Security and Passport Control from level 3 to level 4 into light-filled atrium Enhanced security screening equipment providing faster experience Introduction of self-service check-in and bag drop for smoother travel Upgraded baggage systems to improve efficiency Refreshed retail options for travellers and duty free area to nearly double in size Sustainability features including electric charging stations for aircraft support vehicles Rock originally quarried from Brisbane's Kangaroo Point Cliffs reborn as terrazzo benchtops and furniture. ITB Still 04 - Departures (1)Brisbane Airport is set to revolutionise the passenger experience with a breathtaking animation revealing the dramatic revamp of its International Terminal as part of the $5 billion Future BNE transformation. It will include the most significant changes to the terminal since it opened 29 years ago. Driven by the need to upgrade security screening equipment to meet Australian Government standards by the end of 2025, Brisbane Airport is undertaking major works across the terminal. “Our International Terminal is Queensland’s gateway to the world. After three decades of service, it’s well and truly time for a transformation, ensuring it’s ready to welcome the world for years to come. This building is worth billions of dollars to Queensland’s tourism economy and jobs every year,” declares Brisbane Airport CEO, Gert-Jan de Graaff. The work at the International Terminal is part of the $5 billion Future BNE transformation over the coming decade that includes upgrades to the Domestic Terminal, construction of Terminal 3, and extensive commercial, retail, and industrial projects across the precinct. ITB Still 05 - Security 01Switching Levels – Security moving up in the World Currently, Security Screening and Passport Control at the International Terminal is in the windowless centre of the building on Level 3. Soon, security will relocate to the light-filled atrium on Level 4, providing passengers and workers with a brighter naturally-lit space reflecting the Queensland experience. Advanced technology baggage and passenger screening New next-generation Computed Tomography (CT) security screening equipment is being introduced for passengers and baggage. This new equipment is much larger and won’t fit into the existing security area, requiring its relocation to Level 4. Benefits of the new technology include: Leave items in your bag: CT screening will allow passengers to leave items like laptops in their bag and have other loose items screened with their cabin bag through the introduction of larger, deeper screening trays. Less time in the queue: The new equipment will also increase the speed at which passengers will pass through the screening point. Improved accuracy: CT screening equipment and the 3D images of bags deliver higher levels of accuracy and reduce the need to rescreen bags. “Travellers will enjoy less hassle with the new screening system, by keeping laptops and other electronic items in their bags. It’s faster, smoother, and provides more accurate screening,” says Gert-Jan de Graaff. The same technology is being installed in the Domestic Terminal and is part of the single largest airport deployment of Rapiscan Systems in South-East Asia and among one of the largest globally and includes: 33 Rapiscan 920CT cabin baggage screening units 10 Rapiscan RTT 110 checked baggage and oversize screening units 41 Rapiscan 4DX Explosive Trade Detection units 33 Rohde & Schwarz Quick Personnel Security Body Scanners. Deepak Chopra, OSI Systems’ Chairman and CEO said about the Rapiscan contract: “We are honored to be part of the biggest transformation in Brisbane Airport history and to strengthen our presence at international airports around the world. This transformative effort will have a significant and lasting impact on all passengers who travel through the airport, while increasing the standard of security for both passengers and employees.” ITB Still 02 - Self Check-In 01Self-service check-in kiosks and bag drop From the moment travellers step into the upgraded International Terminal they will notice a difference with the introduction of advanced self-service technology at bag drop and check-in, from partner Amadeus. The new technology enables Brisbane Airport to reduce queues, and passengers to choose between a smooth self-service or agent-led experience, powered by reliable technology that removes friction at check-in and bag drop. “The first new-generation check-in row is already up and running, and the feedback from travellers and airline staff has been fantastic. It’s a giant leap from the 1990s to now,” says Gert-Jan de Graaff. Sarah Samuel, Senior Vice President APAC, Airport & Airline Operations, Amadeus added: “Brisbane is a great example of an airport with a long-term transformation strategy that places the traveler at the heart of the experience, and we are delighted to support it with our technology. With flexible cloud infrastructure and advanced self-service options the technology foundations are being laid so Brisbane can offer passengers an outstanding experience for years to come.” ITB Still 10 - BaggageBaggage system improvements Behind the scenes, staged construction is underway in the International Terminal Baggage Area on a steel frame mezzanine that will house our brand new, energy-efficient, best-in-class conveyor system and Standard 3 technology baggage security screening equipment. This mezzanine level is being built above the existing baggage system to ensure continued operations and minimise the impact on operations during construction. ITB Still 07 - Duty Free31 refreshed retail options & duty free to almost double Retail also undergoes a transformation with 31 premier retail opportunities. Brisbane Airport’s duty free area is also set to nearly double in size as part of the redevelopment. As part of a renewed 10-year partnership with Lotte Duty Free, the expansion will feature innovative design, a focus on local brands and sustainability, enhancing the shopping experience. "Our aim is to bring the finest global offerings to Brisbane while showcasing the best of Queensland to the world,” according to Gert-Jan de Graaff. Steve Timms, Lotte Travel Retail Oceania CEO, added: “There is nothing in the Brisbane store design that has similarity to any other place. It will be a bespoke design, capturing the flavour of Brisbane.” ITB Still 09 - EV ChargersPower to vehicles servicing aircraft The transformation of the International Terminal will also extend outside to the apron where a network of charging infrastructure tailored specifically to support ground support equipment (GSE) will be installed. GSE at airports include pushback tugs, belt loaders, cargo loaders, and baggage tugs used to service aircraft. “Not only will this convert vehicles from fossil fuels to sustainable sources, but it will also make the apron a quieter workplace for the hundreds of people who work loading and dispatching aircraft every day, as well as passengers,” says Gert-Jan de Graaff. Rock reborn from Brisbane’s past Innovative sustainable design features have been embedded into the project. This includes recycling a volcanic rock called Brisbane tuff. Initially quarried at Kangaroo Point from the 1880s, the material was used in the construction of Brisbane’s oldest buildings. In 2015, Brisbane tuff was salvaged from demolition yards to create tiles installed into the International Terminal. With those tiles now requiring removal, they’re being crushed and reborn as reborn as terrazzo benchtops and furniture in the terminal. “The use of Brisbane tuff, originally quarried from Kangaroo Point Cliffs and used in some of Brisbane’s oldest buildings, not only honours the original history of our city but also gives new life to these old and uniquely Queensland materials,” according to Gert-Jan de Graaff. ITB Still 01 - AerialOptimised Staging Carefully optimised staging of the project into 20 phases will minimise impacts for passengers and airlines throughout construction which should conclude in 2027. “As anyone who has ever renovated a house will know, construction comes with challenges, but we are working to keep impacts to a minimum, while remaining open and catering for up to 20,000 international passengers a day. The project is being broken down into 20 construction phases to reduce impacts, but as with all good renovation projects, we know the wait will be worth it.” In FY24 the International Terminal welcomed 5.6 million passengers, up 39% on the previous year. In October American Airlines will join the BNE family with direct flights from Dallas-Fort Worth, and in December Delta Air Lines will commence direct flights from Los Angeles. Qantas will also shortly begin flights to Manila and Jetstar will begin services to Bangkok. A total of 110 million passengers have passed through the International Terminal since it opened almost three decades ago. Terminal 3 While the renovation of the International Terminal is our focus today, work also continues of planning for Terminal 3. “We have begun planning for a Terminal 3 development, which will be conveniently located between our two parallel runways. Eventually, we will integrate domestic and international passengers into this new facility. We need to determine whether this integration will happen from day one or in stages. What we know for sure is that sustainability and accessibility will be baked into the design of Terminal 3," according to Gert-Jan de Graaff.
