This section separates stable airport identifiers from live operating data. Codes, coordinates, timezone, elevation, source identifiers, and accepted reference links are retained here; live arrivals, departures, gates, delays, NOTAMs, and airline schedule changes must still be checked with the airport or carrier.

Field and clock profile
Brisbane International Airport is a near sea-level field at 13 ft (4 m), positioned at 27.3842° S, 153.1170° E in the Southern subtropics. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 11,680 ft / 3,560 m. The airport clock uses Australia/Brisbane (AEST, UTC+10:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
City and airport alternatives
Bracken Ridge is the closest retained city-time anchor at 11 km. MCY Maroochydore is the closest retained airport alternative at 88 km.
Country airport peers
BNE is compared with MCY Maroochydore at 88 km, OOL Gold Coast at 95 km, WTB Toowoomba at 132 km, NTL Williamtown at 614 km, SYD Sydney (Mascot) at 753 km inside the retained Australia airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
Route geometry
BNE-MCY Maroochydore: 88 km, about 57m, +0h. BNE-OOL Gold Coast: 95 km, about 57m, +0h. BNE-WTB Toowoomba: 132 km, about 1h 0m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies BNE as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Brisbane.
BNE (YBBN) is one of the curated airport pages with a real traffic signal attached: 23 million passengers, operating from a near sea-level field at 13 ft (4 m).
BNE sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
BNE's runway record lists 2 runways, with the longest runway at 11,680 ft / 3,560 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt (2).
Civil aviation oversight for BNE runs through Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA); a more specific operator record is not currently in our source set.
- The airport services 31 airlines flying to 50 domestic and 29 international destinations, total amounting to over 23 million passengers who travelled through the airport in 2024.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at bne.com.au, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for BNE
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
BNE uses Australia/Brisbane (AEST, UTC+10:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Brisbane International Airport is about 13 km from central Brisbane; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
MCY Maroochydore is the closest retained alternate at 88 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
bne.com.au is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place BNE inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
BNE ranks #3 in the curated Australia airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 12 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
BNE shares Australia/Brisbane with CNS Cairns AU · MCY Maroochydore AU · OOL Gold Coast AU · WTB Toowoomba AU. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
BNE is 13 ft (4 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include DOH 13 ft (4 m) (0 ft delta) · FCO 13 ft (4 m) (0 ft delta) · GOA 13 ft (4 m) (0 ft delta) · HBA 13 ft (4 m) (0 ft delta) · HNL 13 ft (4 m) (0 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
BNE's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are MCY 88 km +0h · OOL 95 km +0h · WTB 132 km +0h.

Airport Details
Timezone
Ground Transport and Nearby Context
The airport sits in the normal outer-ring range for a major metro gateway, so rail, shuttle coach, and ride-hail all matter when you judge the fastest arrival.
Brisbane is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Brisbane International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from BNE, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
