Experience this project
Your International Terminal is undergoing a dramatic revamp that will revoluntionise the passenger experience with the most significant upgrades to the terminal since its opening 29 years ago.
Driven by the need to upgrade security screening equipment to meet Australian Government standards by the end of 2025, Brisbane Airport is transforming Queensland’s gateway to the world.
Overview
The International Terminal Security and Retail Upgrade will offer a new retail experience and a streamlined passenger journey including simplified check-in and a new screening process, with passenger and baggage screening equipment aligned to meet government-mandated standards. This will allow passengers to leave most of their items in their luggage.
The project includes extensive new retail, food and beverage offerings and a re-imagined duty-free experience.
Construction update: Baggage Makeup Area
Staged construction is currently underway behind the scenes in the International Terminal Baggage Area on a steel frame mezzanine that will house our brand new, energy efficient, best-in-class conveyor system and Standard 3 technology baggage screening equipment. This mezzanine level is being built above the existing baggage system to ensure continued operations and minimise the impact to passengers during construction.
Upgraded Screening Equipment
Brisbane Airport is deploying the same technology across both terminals and is part of the single largest airport deployment of Rapiscan Systems in South-East Asia and among one of the largest globally. Benefits include:
- Leave items in your bag: CT screening will allow passengers to leave items like laptops in their bag and have other loose items screened with their cabin bag.
- Less time in the queue: The new equipment will also increase the speed at which passengers will pass through the screening point.
- Improved accuracy: CT screening equipment and the 3D images of bags deliver higher levels of accuracy, reducing rescreening.
Retail refresh
Retail also undergoes a transformation with 31 premier retail opportunities completed in 2027. Brisbane Airport’s duty free area is also set to nearly double in size as part of the redevelopment. As part of a renewed 10-year partnership with Lotte Duty Free, the expansion will feature innovative design, a focus on local brands and sustainability, enhancing the shopping experience.
