The management of Brisbane Airport is taken up by the Brisbane Airport Corporation Limited. The current CEO is Koen Rooijmans. The location of Brisbane Airport is in the Brisbane suburb of Eagle Farm, Queensland, Australia. Brisbane is the capital city of Queensland. Residents and visitors to Brisbane enjoy a wide range of landscapes and lifestyles. The hilly and sometimes leafy suburbs provide a wonderful sight to the residents as well as the visitors to the city. The ‘Great Dividing Range’ is a sure attraction for many. Even if you are a resident of Brisbane you can enjoy the landscape that it has to offer.

There is an international terminal at Brisbane Airport and a domestic terminal at Brisbane Airport. There are a number of shops at both of the passenger terminals. This airport won the Best Privatized Airport of 2005 by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). There have been terminal modifications to accommodate the new Airbus A380 in Brisbane Airport. This has been done in addition to the modifications in Sydney Airport, Melbourne Airport and Perth Airport. This airbus A380 first arrived at Brisbane on November 14, 2005.
You can get to the Brisbane Airport in Australia by road from Brisbane's Gateway Motorway and from the city, and by rail using the Airtrain service that is linked to the City train network. There is also a new Airport Link motorway that has been planned in order to connect the Brisbane CBD and the airport together. The original Brisbane Airport was Archfield Aerodrome to the South-West of the CBD. There was a smaller airstrip that existed at Eagle Farm and that was where the Southern Cross first landed in Australia after its trans-Pacific flight in 1928.
There has been a commencement of $340 million dollar expansion in October, 2006 of the International terminal. Plans are to complete this by 2008. The features of the expansion terminal at Brisbane Airport include:
