For an overview of where the new Lounge will be positioned, click here (will be situated on the top level)

I believe EK also have exclusive access to one of the 2 A380 gates that are almost due for completion at Brisbane Airport.

Alot happening over the next 2 years with regards to Emirates and Brisbane:

• 77W on EK432/EK433 DXB-SIN-BNE and BNE-SIN-DXB from early Feb
• New EK Lounge to open in March
• New daily nonstop BNE-DXB-BNE flights from OCT with the A340-500
• EK A380s to Brisbane in 2009 - Source

Looking forward to seeing more of Emirates at Brisbane...

It's great to see that Emirates are investing a significant amount in our Airport and contributing greatly to not only the BNE economy, but the Gold Coast and Queensland economy as a whole.

Cheers
