Airport HistoryEst. 1988
Brisbane Airport began in 1925 as the modest Eagle Farm Aerodrome and relocated in the late 1980s to its current Moreton Bay site in time for World Expo '88. Corporatized under a 50-year lease in 1997, it has grown into Australia's third-busiest airport, completing a new parallel runway in 2020 as part of a AU$1.1 billion project, and marked its centenary in 2025.
The Commonwealth Government establishes Eagle Farm Aerodrome on 36 hectares of former agricultural land in April, marking Brisbane's first purpose-built airport.
The 'Southern Cross' completes the first trans-Pacific flight and lands at Eagle Farm before a crowd of an estimated 25,000 people.
The airport relocates roughly 5km north to its current Moreton Bay site; the old Eagle Farm site closes in March as operations shift to coincide with World Expo '88.
A new International Terminal opens on September 5, officially opened by Prime Minister Paul Keating.
Brisbane Airport Corporation purchases the airport for AU$1.4 billion under a 50-year lease as part of federal airport privatization.
A new parallel runway opens in July after an AU$1.1 billion, near-decade-long construction project, enabling near-simultaneous independent operations with the main runway.
Brisbane Airport celebrates 100 years since Eagle Farm's establishment, having grown into Australia's third-busiest airport.
