New Brisbane flight path maps reveal how your suburb could be affected
New flight paths over Brisbane have been released as part of a major plan to tackle aircraft noise. Airservices Australia has released a fresh report showing new preferred flight path maps aimed at reducing the impact of aircraft noise on suburbs worst affected since the opening of the city's new parallel runway in July 2020. Since then, residents in the inner east, south and northwest have particularly reported intense aircraft traffic, with some homes being affected by dozens of low-flying planes each day. The new proposal was designed to distribute flights more evenly across a wider area, thereby alleviating the pressure on suburban areas affected by arrivals and departures during the day and at night. 'We are listening to residents who've consistently called for fairer distribution of aircraft noise,' Airservices head of community engagement Donna Marshall said. 'Community feedback has already helped shape a number of preferred options. 'We're eager to speak to as many people as possible before final decisions are made.' Daytime arrivals and departures The updated flight paths will redistribute approximately 20 per cent to 30 per cent of arrivals and departures to new routes over less populated areas, including increased use of Moreton Bay for approaches and departures. New departure paths will encourage aircraft to fly over industrial zones and waterways more often, reducing the number of flights passing directly over residential areas during daytime hours, the proposal showed. The changes are designed to accommodate growth in air traffic while addressing community concerns raised in previous consultation phases, which reported more than 1,000 submissions regarding noise impacts, Airservices said. Night departures and noise management Night departures are a major source of complaints, due to the low altitude of aircraft immediately after takeoff. Since the opening of the new runway, most night departures — approximately 85 per cent — use the runway aligned over Moreton Bay to minimise noise over residential areas. However, on average about 30 aircraft still depart over land between 10pm and 6am, mainly when the legacy runway is in use or during emergencies, the report shows. A new trial planned for mid-2026 proposes a departure path where aircraft will make a tight left turn shortly after takeoff, flying over industrial land and Moreton Bay to reduce noise impacts on nearby homes. This new procedure would affect roughly 3,500 flights annually at night and could reduce noise disturbance for more than 20,000 residents currently affected by night flights over land. According to Airservices, simulations with major aircraft types — including the Airbus A320, A330, A350, A380 and Boeing 737-800 and 777 — showed they can generally follow the preferred flight path accurately. The planes stayed on or within the centreline until over water, with only minor variations expected depending on conditions. Although many assume planes could always take off over Moreton Bay to avoid flying over homes, Airservices noted that's not always possible. For safety, aircraft must take off into the wind. When winds are blowing from the south, pilots are required to depart over land using the northern end of the runway. Have your say Airservices Australia encourages Brisbane residents to get involved and share their views on the proposed flight path changes. Community engagement sessions will be held across Brisbane from July 19 to 31, allowing locals to speak directly with flight path designers. Bookings are essential.

This is the second straight year that Emirates has won the honours. The Most Recommended Brands rankings measure the percentage of a brand's customers who would recommend it to a friend or colleague.

‘Still climbing': Wild near-miss collision
A Chinese passenger plane's unexpected manoeuvre over Russian airspace put it on a potential collision course with another Chinese carrier earlier this month. Startling audio recordings that surfaced over the weekend on Chinese social media captured the confusion in the sky when the Air China Airbus A350 suddenly began climbing from 34,100ft to 36,000ft without clearance from Russian air traffic control. The move placed it on a near-collision course with an SF Airlines cargo plane flying at 35,000ft, according to South China Morning Post. The aircraft were flying over Tuva, a remote part of Siberia that borders Mongolia, on July 7 when they came within 300-400 feet (around 90-120 metres) of each other - much closer than the global minimum standard for vertical separation of 1000 feet (about 305 metres). The passenger plane – flight CA96 – was on its way from Shanghai to Milan, while the Boeing cargo plane was flying from Budapest to Ezhou, a city in the central province of Hubei. It was when the pilot of the cargo plane spotted the potential collision that he put in a request for more information from air traffic control, which confirmed there was an Airbus A350 in front of the plane. 'I saw your plane climbing. Did (air traffic control) instruct you to?' the cargo pilot allegedly asked the pilot of the A350, according to South China Morning Post. 'I saw that there was a plane ahead and it was only 20 nautical miles (37km) away and still climbing. Such a crossing altitude is very inappropriate. I guess you also heard me saying 'request traffic information'.' The publication reported the Air China pilot appeared to blame the female Russian air traffic controller for the incident, saying 'the girl' was 'making a fuss' and had left everyone 'confused'. He later said 'we couldn't explain it clearly to them' and 'didn't know how to tell them'. The pilot added: 'I assume we'll have to write a report on this kind of incident when we get back.' His SF Airlines counterpart replied: 'Definitely, without a doubt. I have to report home (to the company) right away.' It comes as the near-miss triggered an alarm known as Traffic Collision Avoidance System on both planes, prompting the Air China pilot to ask air traffic control what had caused this to happen. 'Are you climbing with instruction or without instruction? Confirm, please,' the controller asked the Air China pilot. 'No. Thank you,' the pilot reportedly responded. According to the outlet, two other planes – another Air China flight, CA861 travelling from Beijing to Geneva, and Hainan Airlines HU7937, flying between Beijing and Prague – were flying to the northwest of the pair involved in the incident. Air traffic control asked the Geneva-bound flight and the Hainan Airlines plane to maintain their current altitudes – flight level 360 (or 36,000 feet) and level 340 respectively. What exactly prompted the sudden ascent is not yet known but one possibility is the overlapping transmissions.
