Operation Reports

We have developed a series of dashboards using data from ADSB Exchange and our independent noise monitoring technology (Casper Noise), Airservices Australia, Bureau of Meterology and WeatherZone. This includes historical reporting on overnight operations and runway directional usage, on-time performance as well as forecasted directional use. Information can be filtered on the reports, with historical data available for comparison from 2017 onwards.

Historical Runway Usage

The direction in which aircraft are able to take-off and land is determined by the wind speed and direction at the airport. As a general rule, aircraft must take-off and land into the wind.

The preferred mode of operation overnight (10pm-6am) is for all aircraft to arrive and depart over the bay, to minimise the impact of noise on the Brisbane community.  However this is weather dependant and based on four factors; wind speed, visibility, cloud cover and runway surface conditions.

This chart shows the historical data for over the bay operations and the direction of flights on the runways at Brisbane Airport. 

• North (northerly/easterly winds) = where flights land over the city and take-off over the bay.
• South (southerly/westerly winds) = where flights land over the bay and take-off over the city.
