Welcome to Brisbane Airport

Just off the gateway Arterial Highway, and only 13km from Brisbane’s CBD, the Brisbane International and Domestic Airports offer easy access to Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and northern New South Wales.

The airport services over 3.7 million international travelers from over 26 locations each year such as China, the Middle East, Europe, the United Kingdom and the west coast of the United States of America. A further 12.3 million passengers travel to Brisbane from over 35 domestic locations across Australia.

Before you leave the airport grounds, check out the Kingsford Smith Memorial. This glassed walled building house the famous ‘Southern Cross’ aircraft in which Sir Charles Kingsford Smith made the first historic air crossing of the Pacific Ocean.

The Direct Factory Outlet centre, located on Airport Drive, is Brisbane’s premier outlet shopping destination. Browse well known brands amongst fashion, accessories, jewellery, leathergoods and homeware retailers.

The airport district is largely heavy industrial and the nearby precincts of Hamilton and Ascot are where you will find a wide range of comfortable accommodation options, live entertainment and cosmopolitan shopping destinations.

Fabulous dining abounds in the suburbs adjacent to the Airport.  Discover the eclectic assortment of eateries along the tree-lined Racecourse Road, a wonderful mix of slick cafes, riverside seafood and stately tea houses.  Further along the river at Hamilton, try some of the new hip cafes in the café precinct or sample the fare at one of the local award winning restaurants, many of which boast beautiful waterfront views. The legendary Breakfast Creek Hotel lives up to it’s reputation for the best steaks, and is one of the few hotels in the world to still serve beer from a chilled wooden keg.

Perched on the banks of the beautiful Brisbane River, Hamilton is within easy reach of the city heart thanks to numerous regular bus routes and the City Cat ferry service. Follow the banks of the river and discover the charm of the traditional ‘Queenslander’ homes, their architecture unique to the ‘Sunshine State’.
