Archerfield Airport was established in the early 1930's and served as Brisbane's primary and international airport up until 1949 with Qantas, Ansett ANA and Trans Australia Airlines offering Regular Passenger Transport (RPT) services.

Archerfield Airport now operates as the major general aviation airport in Queensland, and the metropolitan airport for greater Brisbane. Aircraft movements have remained relatively steady in the past decade at approximately 140,000 per year. The airport has the capacity, and remains available, for Regular Passenger Transport services should the need arise in the future. Consultation with the community and airport stakeholders would be required before this could proceed.
