The predecessor of the airport opened as Eagle Farm Airport in 1928. During the Second World War , Eagle Farm Airport was the base of the Allied forces. Military aircraft were often housed there. After the war, the airport was converted into a passenger airport for the first time. Terminals were built and the airport was a destination for some cargo airlines. In the 1970s, the government gave the order to build a new airport north of Eagle Farm. This was built by Leighton Holdings and opened as Brisbane Airport in 1988.
