Overview
Progressive installation has commenced on our Aerobridge Replacement Program that will deliver new, state-of-the-art aerobridges across both Terminals by 2029.
A total of 20 aerobridges will be rolled out in stages to ensure airport operations continue efficiently and will improve safety, boost reliability and better connect with a wider range of modern aircraft.
The passenger experience will be upgraded with improved accessibility, reducing the need for stairs and an all-weather option.
Installation timeline
- Our new aerobridges are manufactured in New Zealand and undergo quality assurance and factory acceptance testing before delivery to Brisbane.
- Each aerobridge takes a few months to remove existing gate infrastructure, install, test and commission before returning to operations.
- Work is being undertaken in stages to minimise disruptions to airport operations.
- Installation commenced at Gate 77, International Terminal in early 2026 and will progressively roll out across both Terminals through to 2029.
