How the proposed flight path changes will affect your suburb
The flight path options, which are open for community feedback until August 17, include distributing flights more evenly over a wider area and reducing the concentration of flights over suburbs already being flooded with both arrival and departure, and day and night flights.
The Noise Action Plan for Brisbane was developed to address complaints following the introduction of Brisbane Airport's parallel runway in July 2020.
But the Brisbane Flight Path Community Alliance has criticised the latest proposal, warning it would result in more communities being exposed to aircraft noise, many for the first time.
Alliance spokesperson Marcus Foth said the proposal did not offer a real solution, with 'no night-time curfew, no flight cap, and no credible plan for genuine net noise reductions'.
Here is what the proposed flight path changes would mean for your area:
North and west
With both arrivals and departures tracking over similar areas, there are many communities to the north-west of the Brisbane Airport that do not experience periods of respite, even when wind conditions change.

Brisbane aerobridges strike again, this time damaging a Fijian jet
A Fiji Airways Boeing 737 MAX has been damaged at Brisbane's international airport after an aerobridge incident – the third in as many months at the airport. Flight FJ923 from Nadi, which landed at Brisbane Airport at 11.02pm on Saturday, was damaged at the gate when the aerobridge smashed into the cockpit's left-hand windscreen. All passengers safely disembarked via forward stairs. It came a little more than a month after a Qantas Boeing 737 was damaged in similar circumstances, and two months after an Air New Zealand Boeing 777 struck an aerobridge as it was being pushed back on May 22. Brisbane Airport spokesman Peter Doherty said Saturday night's incident was under investigation but hinted at user error. 'Fortunately, no crew or passengers were injured,' he said. 'A detailed overnight inspection of the aerobridge found no mechanical faults, and further rigorous inspections are being conducted today to ensure safety and operational integrity.'
