Brisbane Airport is going to continue to grow with the new development of a second parallel runway with a cost 1.3 billion and a time frame of 6 years until completion. The estimates of this second runway will grow the passenger annual traffic from 20 million to 45 million by 2029.The construction will start within the next coming weeks as workers will start dredging from Moreton Bay, as they start laying the foundation of the runway. Once the foundation of the runway is completed around 2016-2017, we will see the pavement of the 3.3 km runway continue to develop.
Brisbane Airport Corporation will increase its finance to fund this 1.3 billion dollar project and also has said it may increase landing fees for airlines. This may affect the ticket prices for Brisbane Airport flights in the next few years.
The project will help the continuous delays and holding patterns aircrafts are regularly incurring when landing at Brisbane Airport.
