Brisbane Airport (BNE) Slot Allocation & Strategic Planning

Brisbane Airport (BNE) is Australia’s third-largest aviation hub and is officially designated as a Level 3 Coordinated Airport. Unlike other major Australian gateways, BNE operates 24 hours a day without a night-time curfew, and has unparalleled scheduling flexibility. However, this flexibility requires precise coordination with Airport Coordination Australia (ACA) to secure access to runway and terminal infrastructure.

Just Aviation provides specialized slot administration to navigate Brisbane’s growing demand. Our expertise supports operations at a facility that welcomed 23.6 million passengers in 2024 and set a single-day record of 617 aircraft movements in late 2025.

Timing Procurement & Infrastructure Management for Brisbane (BNE)

• ✔ Specialized Slot Acquisition & Message Formatting
  • We manage the submission of Slot Clearance Requests (SCR) and General Aviation (GCR) messages in strict adherence to IATA SSIM Chapter 6 standards.
  • Our team ensures that all arrival and departure filings are transmitted in the correct telegraphic formats to guarantee rapid vetting by the Australian coordinator.
• ✔ Strategic Planning for a Non-Curfew Hub
  • While BNE lacks a curfew, peak-hour congestion (typically between 07:00 and 10:00 local time) remains a significant constraint.
  • We analyze current runway throughput and gate availability at the International (T1) and Domestic (T2) terminals to secure the most efficient timings for your mission profile.

  • We track your movements against confirmed allocations to ensure your flight remains within the ±15-minute tolerance window established for high-capacity Australian ports.

  • We facilitate all short-notice revisions, including tail swaps and mission delays, ensuring the coordinator is notified of all changes in real-time.
• ✔ Contingency Support & Disruption Recovery
  • Queensland’s summer storm season can lead to rapid schedule disruptions.
  • We provide 24/7 recovery services, re-coordinating slots during weather-related delays to minimize ground time and avoid operational penalties.
