Brisbane Airport has its sights on becoming a major inbound transit hub. According to Flight Global, 20% of Brisbane’s inbound passenger traffic last year was in transit.

“We definitely have lots of space to grow… the sky’s the limit on our transit traffic target,” said BAC’s Andrew Brodie.

Brisbane Airport Corporation managing director Julieanne Alroe said BAC were unashamedly positioning the city as the nation’s preferred international entry point.

The $150 million hotel development project increases the number of airport hotels in Brisbane to three and would stand to capitalise on high international passenger growth which is projected at 7% for the 2017 financial year.

Danesh Bamji, General Manager of Franchise for AccorHotels Australia said, “Tourism is undeniably one of Australia’s top industries with recent figures showing the sector has grown at four times the rate of the Australian economy.

Construction tops out at Brisbane Airport Domestic hotel precinct

It is critical to have accommodation options in airport precincts and to that we’re thrilled to be working with owners, Anthony Flynn of Flynn Property Group and Scott Flynn of Scott Flynn Properties to bring 5-star hospitality to people travelling into Brisbane.

The completion of Brisbane Airport’s $1.35 billion New Parallel Runway (NPR), now just three years away will give Brisbane Airport equal capacity to Hong Kong and Singapore airports, with BAC claiming once completed it would have the best runway system in Australia.

Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said Brisbane’s $6.3 billion international and domestic tourism industry was continuing to grow and this $150 million investment represented an important addition to the city’s hotel and conference facilities supply.

“Just three years ago the city was forgoing 120,000 visitors a year and was being overlooked for major events opportunities due to a lack of hotel rooms, however, hotels such as the Pullman Brisbane Airport and ibis Brisbane Airport hotels will help address this shortage and allow the city to attract world-class events,” Cr Quirk said.

“Hotels are a vital part of the city’s tourism story and will help position Brisbane as a gateway for the Asia Pacific, when the Brisbane Airport doubles capacity with the opening of the second parallel runway in just a few years.”

The hotels are scheduled to open 1 October 2017 and will be taking bookings from May 2017 on www.accorhotels.com
