Domestic Terminal Construction Works
Construction works continue on the Domestic Terminal Security Upgrade Project in the central area of the Domestic Terminal that have changed the way you travel at BNE. Please take the time to review the information below.
Changes for departing Domestic passengers
As a result of construction works, the way you access check-in, bag drop and security screening inside the terminal has changed for select airline passengers.
Best route for passengers on Virgin Australia, Rex, Alliance, Link Airways, National Jet Express and Aerlink
Passengers can only use the Virgin area terminal entrances to access airline check-in and bag drop, due to a closure of the central area of the terminal building.
Checked-in passengers will use the temporary security screening point at the southern end of the terminal. Access to the screening point is via the doors opposite baggage claim 7.
Best route for Qantas and Jetstar passengers
Passengers should enter the terminal using the Qantas or central terminal area entrances to access airline check-in and bag-drop:
For Domestic passengers being dropped off on the Pick-up and Drop-off road, please use these zones for easier access to the Domestic Terminal:
- All Qantas and Jetstar passengers, it is recommended that you use Zone 1 (Light Blue) to Zone 3 (Dark Blue) at the very beginning of the road.
Virgin Australia, Rex, Alliance, Link Airways, National Jet Express, and Link Airways passengers, it is recommended that you use Zone 6 (Yellow) through to Zone 7 (Green) towards the end of the road.
Construction is underway on the P2 Car Park Expansion which will provide an additional 1,700 parking spaces at the Domestic Terminal precinct.
- The public waiting area at the Domestic Terminal and the over height vehicle parking space are now closed.
- Passengers with vehicles over 2.4m high will need to use AIRPARK, with free buses to and from the terminal. We recommend allowing extra time for travel.
- If you're picking up a passenger from the Domestic Terminal, the first 30 mins of ParkShort is free of charge. You will find ParkShort at level 2 of the P1 car park.
- All Qantas and Jetstar passengers will claim baggage on carousels 1-3. For best access, please use the exits opposite Gate 23 or Gate 25 only.
- Virgin, Alliance, Rex, National Jet Express, Aerlink, and Link Airways passengers will claim baggage on carousels 5-7. Due to a closure of access inside the terminal, for direct access to baggage claim, you will need to use the exit opposite Gate 39.
Now the central area of the Domestic Terminal is closed, we have set up two temporary information desks. You can find the friendly Airport Ambassadors before screening, opposite baggage carousel 5 and baggage carousel 3. Just look for the blue shirts with the yellow ‘I’.
Please be advised that the Airport Line will undergo a track closure from the first service on Saturday 19th, until the final service on Sunday 20th October 2024. Essential track maintenance will be completed over these dates. During this period, buses will replace all scheduled Airtrain services.
Please take note of the following arrangements for replacement bus services:
- Domestic Terminal: Buses will depart from Bays C1 and D1.
- International Terminal: Buses will depart from the Ground Transport area, accessed via the exit on the southern side of the Level 2 Arrival Hall.
The Prayer room at the International Terminal has been temporarily relocated to Level 3, after security, near gate 78. The Prayer room at the Domestic Terminal is temporarily closed whilst we upgrade the amenities. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to improve our facilities.
