About Archerfield Airport

Established in 1931, Archerfield Airport has played a pivotal role in Australia’s history. Between 1931 and 1949 Archerfield was Brisbane’s main domestic and international airport. In 1931 it became the headquarters for Qantas, with Australian National Airways (ANA) and Trans-Australia Airways (TAA) also setting up operations in later years. In 1934, it facilitated the first west-east crossing of the Pacific Ocean by Sir Charles Kingsford Smith. In the same year, it became the birthplace of Australia’s first international Airmail service to England and Qantas began its first international services to Singapore from Hangar 5 in 1935. Archerfield also served as a major base in WWII when Brisbane became a vital defence bastion, housing the US, Dutch, British and Australian Armed Forces. After the war, Archerfield Airport continued its roles as Brisbane’s international airport up until 1949. Today, Archerfield Airport continues its legacy as a premier metropolitan airport, supporting a diverse range of aviation activities, including flight training, charter services, aeromedical operations, government and corporate aviation, as well as maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services. Additionally, the airport handles a significant volume of helicopter movements, making it a preferred destination for rotary operations. Archerfield plays a vital role in driving economic growth, enhancing connectivity across regional Queensland, and empowering businesses to succeed. Our vision is for Archerfield Airport to be Brisbane’s “premier enterprise and transport hub, with great people and aviation at its core”. We have continued to revitalize this national icon through the development of modern aviation infrastructure, positioning Archerfield as a catalyst for innovation and the introduction of new emerging technology.
