Work to build Brisbane Airport's second runway will begin after July this year, with the $1.3 billion project expected to be completed in seven years time.

Construction on the runway, which was approved in 2007, has been delayed when passengers numbers dipped during the Global Financial Crisis.

The economic turn-around has enabled financing for the project.
