Brisbane Airport Corporation

In a very real sense, the Australian community is the main owner of Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC).

  • This is because BAC - which operates and develops Brisbane Airport under a long-term lease from the Commonwealth of Australia - is largely owned by Australian financial institutions that handle the superannuation and other financial funds for Australians from all walks of life.

  • BAC is 80% Australian-owned, through Commonwealth Financial Services (the Commonwealth Bank’s fund management arm), Australian financial institutions, the Port of Brisbane Corporation and Brisbane City Council. Another important stakeholder is Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (20%), one of the world’s most modern and efficient airports.

  • BAC employs over 200 people.

  • More than 130 businesses and nearly 8,000 people work on Brisbane Airport every day. This is forecast to exceed 40,000 people by 2025.

  • BAC has committed around $2.2 billion to new infrastructure at Brisbane Airport over the next 10 years. The $1 billion New Parallel Runway is the centrepiece of this investment.
