What You Need to Know about Brisbane Airport

For many travellers, Brisbane Airport (BNE) is the gateway to Queensland’s capital.

Located in the eastern portion of town, near where the Brisbane River flows out into Moreton Bay, the site has undergone tremendous change since its humble beginnings in 1922, back when it was known as Eagle Farm. Temporarily used as a US military base in the 1940’s, it eventually reopened to the public in 1946 and has since become Australia’s third busiest airport.
