Here is a list of airlines that have announced flights to Brisbane, as well as airlines that have shown interest in flying to Brisbane.

 

Possibilities

Air Canada

Air Canada have announced their intentions to commence flights to a second Australian port. The initial announcement said that Melbourne was the favourite, however a second announcement was made, saying that Brisbane was possibly a better option for the airline. Flights would probably be from Vancouver and would commence once the airline receives Boeing 787s, giving an approximate start up of somewhere between 2014 and 2015. More announcements have recently been made by Air Canada saying that they are looking at starting flights to Brisbane. They even created a route map of destinations that the Boeing 787 would allow them to serve, Brisbane was included in the map.
