Some all-star in a Cirrus doing a missed approach on 14 and having a close encounter of the Boeing kind with an aircraft on final for 19.

It was one of those Pandora's box incidents that didn't happen for twenty years, but once it did it was impossible for all the relevant agencies to say "oh well, let's stick that back in the box and pretend it didn't happen". With the information from that incident, the risk assessment for a lot of the dual runway ops suddenly looked...risky.

ihd, the parallel runway is on the way but it got delayed by a year. Even on the original time line it wouldn't have been ready yet. It is a big aviation infrastructure project and it will happen, but there's a lot of ground work to do before the land is suitable for runway building. The airport probably should have been built with a parallel 01/19 back in 1988 but no-one realised how busy Brisbane was going to get.
