About Brisbane International Airport

Brisbane International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 27.38° S, 153.12° E, on Australia/Brisbane time (UTC+10).

Brisbane International Airport has 2 runways. The longest, 01R/19L, measures 11,680 ft by 148 ft, which puts the field in the long-haul capable category: widebodies operate comfortably, though the very longest sectors may need a payload trade. The surface is asphalt. Both are lit for night operations.

Runway 01R/19L is aligned roughly north-east/south-west, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that north-east/south-west alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.

At 13 ft the field is effectively at sea level, which is the friendliest case for aircraft performance: maximum lift, maximum thrust and the shortest takeoff runs an aircraft is capable of.

Runway numbers are the magnetic heading rounded to ten degrees, which is why they change when the magnetic field drifts - runway numbers explained.

Unusual aircraft we have tracked at BNE

Ranked by how rarely we identify the type anywhere, so the widebodies rise above the daily narrowbodies. Registrations are the individual airframes we logged, not a schedule.

Frequently asked questions about BNE

What is the airport code for Brisbane International Airport?

Brisbane International Airport uses the IATA code BNE on tickets and baggage tags, and the ICAO code YBBN in flight plans and on radar. The leading “Y” in YBBN is the region marker: ICAO codes are grouped geographically, which is why airports near each other usually share their first letter or two while their IATA codes look unrelated.

How many runways does BNE have?

Brisbane International Airport operates 2 runways. The field sits at 13 ft above sea level.

Which airlines are based at BNE?

Qantas treat BNE as a hub or major base. Many other carriers serve the airport without basing aircraft there.

What time zone is BNE in?

Brisbane International Airport runs on Australia/Brisbane, currently UTC+10. Flight trackers work in UTC internally, so the seven-day history on our flight pages is stamped UTC while the boards on this page are in BNE local time - worth remembering when the two disagree by a whole calendar day.

Can I track flights at BNE live?

Yes. The map on this page shows every aircraft broadcasting its position within about 55 km of Brisbane International Airport, and there are 8 in range as this page loaded. The boards split them into departures, arrivals and traffic passing overhead, all timed in Australia/Brisbane.
