Ready for takeoff! ✈️

To mark the opening of Brisbane Airport’s new runway, we're looking back to this snapshot from 1966 when our City's airport was just a tiny operation in Eagle Farm.

From its humble beginnings as a landing field for the likes of Sir Charles Kingsford Smith to the bustling hub we see today, our partner Brisbane Airport has grown up with the city it serves.

From helping to support a booming population with an appetite for adventure to their continued support as a key partner at Museum of Brisbane, we want to say thank you for keeping our city's eyes to the sky.
