As mentioned previously, it is important that Brisbane Airport remain curfew free so it can maintain its edge over its other competitors and as a major regional dispersal airport. As gas and mining industries often have 24-hour operations early morning flight for FIFO (fly in- fly out) and business travellers to Queensland are very important; a curfew would generate a great deal of inconvenience to business travellers. Between designated time periods curfews prohibit the movement of flights which has considerable impacts.
Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) that if a curfew were to be introduced an estimated 216,000 international passenger movements would be lost each year with 111,000 of these flights being international visitors to Australia.
