Facilities

Brisbane Airport has two runways --- 19/01 (3500M) and 14/32 (1700M). Category 1 ILS is installed on runways 19 and 01. RWY has non-precision approaches using VOR, DME or GPS. Due to the proximity of container cranes and two oil refineries, RWY 32 is for use in VMC only. The master plan provides for a 3000M runway to be built parallel to RWY 19/01.
