2012 WHAT CAN WE EXPECT AT BNE
BNE will continue to grow around 4-5% in 2012 with pax figures of about 21.25 million and aircraft movements of around 210,000-215,000 or 5-6% growth.
New airlines possibly 3-5 covering FIFO and international services.Already Qantas has advertised DFW-BNE will go daily and Air Australia are planning to add another 10 flights a week to HKT,HNL,DPS and new routes to SGN,SHA are planned.Virgin are planning up to 78 international flights a week with increases to NZ ports as Air New Zealand reduce and also BNE-POM will go to 5 a week.
In relation to Cargo Pacific Air Express will commence a weekly BNE-FIJI flight next month.There is also the possibility of a weekly BNE-SIN freight service operated by a American carrier.
Domestically we can see continued growth to the FIFO towns such as Emerald,Gladstone,Mackay,Roma etc with both Virgin and Qantaslink adding new flights in 2012.
2012 should bring BNE new aircraft in 717,Fokker 50 and perhaps others.
Developments at the airport should bring a new domestic terminal car park ,more apron parking at the domestic ,a new viewing area for us spotters and commencement of early clearing works for the new runway.
Overall a positive year in my opinion.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.

2012 WHAT CAN WE EXPECT.
2012 i believe brings optimism at our local airports.Today i will look at OOL.
OOL (Gold Coast) What can we expect or predict.
With nearly 6 million pax annually i believe OOL will grow slowly again this year.
Growth on domestic services may come from SYD and MEL once again.Tiger are planning a 2nd base from June 2012 possibly in Sydney.If this happens then you can be assured SYD-OOL flights will once again commence.
FIFO may well finally commence from OOL in 2012 most likely to mines in Central Queensland.Who and what we will just have to wait.
Internationally Air Asia X hopefully will increase back to daily again in 2012 .
Other carriers i am not so sure.Scoot is a possible but with 400 pax in a 777 getting out of OOL'S current runway may not be obtainable.
Trans tasman ops will most likely show some growth with all 3 carriers.
QANTAS will they or won't they come back to OOL.I believe they will come back later in 2012 with services to both SYD,MEL .
These are personally my thoughts and opinions only.

Air Australia to add BNE-Ho Chi Minh and SHA
Air Australia announced yesterday 2 new routes out of BNE to Vietnam and China .Both services will be 3 a week subject to all the approvals.First flights will commence in June 2012.
Brisbane has never been linked to Vietnam before and in the case of Shanghai(China) there are no flights currently as China Eastern no longer operate Charters there anymore from BNE.
Apparently HNL is doing great with 92% load factors and BNE-MEL may return a profit from day 1.
Air Australia along with Virgin Australia are both BNE based airlines and this being a SE QLD blog we support them both .

Possibly a new freighter service starting
Heavylift have applied for the below using a American carrier.
http://www.iasc.gov.au/applications/files/4672.pdf
50,000 kg on a weekly BNE or CNS-SIN service connecting with their 734F out of POM to both CNS and BNE.
50,000 KG will mean either a DC8-63F or 763F as they utilize capacity around this mark.
Time will tell but i would assume the flight will operate ex BNE.
