Aircraft would use alternate flight paths over Brisbane on different days under a proposal to share the burden of noise.
Aircraft would use alternate flight paths over Brisbane on different days of the week under a proposal to share the burden of noise in the suburbs.
Following a consultation process, Airservices Australia will start by changing flight paths over Brisbane’s northern and western suburbs, then turn its attention to the southern suburbs.“Where we have a departure that’s due to go up north, we have some alternative flight path options for that,” said Donna Marshall, Airservices Australia head of community engagement.
For the airlines, the changes would likely mean slightly longer distances to fly and more fuel to burn.The public can comment on the proposed changes until September 10, which would inform the detailed designs and an environmental assessment of the new flight paths.When Brisbane Airport began using its new parallel runway in 2020, there was an increase in noise complaints from suburbs where aircraft noise had not previously been a problem.
