Media Release - New generation FOD sweeper for Archerfield Airport

(18/12/15)

The very first of the new generation Foreign Object Damage (FOD) sweepers to be invented, patented and manufactured in Australia has been presented to Archerfield Airport.

The FOD* BOSS sweeper, which uses the force of friction and specially designed brushes to quickly sweep debris from airport runways, taxiways and aprons, will improve safety and runway maintenance at the airport. The Phase 4 FOD*BOSS was offered as a prize during the Australian Airports Association Airport Safety Week in October, and was won by Archerfield Airport Groundsman Jaimie Harrison.

Media Release - Fly Neighbourly at Archerfield Airport

(17/11/15)

Archerfield Airport Corporation (AAC) has launched a Fly Neighbourly program in partnership with airport operators, community representatives, residents and aviation stakeholders to minimise airport-generated noise impact on noise-sensitive and residential neighbours.

The program, which is modelled on similar initiatives operating at some Australian airports, is a voluntary code of practice. It encourages ‘good manners’ by everyone who uses the airport, and aims to give people living and working near the airport a better understanding of the source and background of airport noise. Aircraft noise is either on the ground or in the air.

Media Release - Brisbane Open House comes to Archerfield Airport

(22/09/15)

Archerfield Airport’s distinctive art deco terminal building will be featured for the first time next month in the Brisbane Open House program.

Held annually to coincide with World Architecture Day, Brisbane Open House is a free event offering guided and self-guided tours of the city’s ‘hidden’ wealth of architecture.

Open House visitors to Archerfield Airport on Saturday October 10 (from 10am to 4pm) will have the chance to inspect the terminal building which was built in 1941 and served as the passenger lounge for Brisbane’s original airport.

Archerfield Airport Stages Emergency Exercise (09/09/15)

Archerfield Airport’s emergency procedures were put to the test on Wednesday September 9 using a real time field exercise involving airport staff, Queensland Police, Queensland Ambulance, QGAir, and Fire and Emergency Services personnel. In the mock exercise, an aircraft carrying an aero-medical team and their patients ‘crashed’ on landing. There was one fatality, with injured passengers treated at a triage station near the crash site before being transported by ambulance to hospital.

Archerfield Airport General Manager, Heather Mattes, said the exercise was a valuable opportunity for airport staff and emergency services personnel to work together to improve response procedures in the event of a genuine plane crash. She said a debriefing held after the exercise identified ways the agencies could improve co-ordination and communications; and lessons learned would be used to finetune the airport’s emergency plan.

Hangar For Hunger

On Thursday 22 November 2018 Archerfield Airport Corporation is hosting a fundraiser for a local not for profit organisation, belong, which runs a food co-op Monday – Thursday for local residents living on the edge. Sadly the service is struggling for resources and runs out of supplies within an hour each day, leaving local families, including children, without food.

Archerfield  Airport Corporation has a proud record of giving back to the community. In continuing this, we have joined with our state representative, Hon Leeanne Enoch MP, and special guest speaker, Queensland Treasurer and Deputy Premier Hon Jackie Trad MP as well as other corporate partners, to bring together this wonderful event. We would be honoured to have you join us.

Tickets are $75 per person or $600 for ten

Drinks and tapas are included. We will have a great selection of items going up for auction on the night as well!

Tickets can be purchased online at https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/hangar-for-hunger-tickets-52201706710
