From October 1, flights EK430 (Dubai to Brisbane) and EK431 (Brisbane to Dubai), will be serviced by A380s, the world\u2019s largest passenger plane, and one of the world\u2019s noisiest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flights would land in Brisbane at 10:40pm and depart to Dubai at 1:55am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elizabeth Watson-Brown MP, Greens spokesperson for Transport, Infrastructure and Sustainable Cities said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe last thing Brisbane residents need is a 2am wake-up call from the world\u2019s largest passenger plane roaring straight over their houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is exactly why the community and the Greens have been campaigning so strongly for a curfew, just like the curfew Sydney already has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBrisbane Airport should have a curfew on flights between 10pm and 6am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt a time when the Brisbane community is crying out for action on excessive flight noise, it is insulting that BAC and Airservices Australia are allowing a new A380 service to fly over people\u2019s homes in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Greens won\u2019t stop fighting to ultimately secure a flight cap and curfew that would deliver long-term relief for Brisbane residents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
