The airport has installed 600 LED lights along its 3.6km runway, replacing the old halogen lamps, with up to 20 lights at a time replaced during twice-weekly overnight runway maintenance closures.
The new strategic alliance will see Archerfield Airport Corporation (AAC) and Wisk Aero collaborate on “a variety of projects” to boost the AAM ecosystem and operations at Archerfield, the largest corporate and general aviation airport in Queensland.
Works will begin next year on the T2 domestic terminal, which houses Virgin Australia, Jetstar, and regional airlines, and are expected to take until the end of 2026. They will include new security scanning systems, improved bag drop, and more self-service kiosks.
The fly-through animation shows the airport’s new parallel runway and terminal facilities, as well as other features including its first multi-storey carparks and airport hotel, to be built over the next 10 years in what is being dubbed the “one airport” program.
John Ferrara, who bought the site in 2011, said earlier this year he was retiring and listed everything as one package.
The airport’s CEO, Lorie Argus, said the growth in traveller numbers came despite the “economic headwinds many households are facing”.
