Smoke from a test AC unit triggered alarms, evacuating 1,000 at Brisbane Airport Jan. 13, 2026, causing delays.
On January 13, 2026, about 1,000 people were evacuated from Brisbane Airport’s international terminal level four after smoke from a testing air-conditioning unit triggered a fire alarm.
Emergency crews responded, clearing the scene by 8:35 a.m. Flights, including Qantas routes to Tokyo and Wellington, were delayed, with some departures pushed hours later.
Passengers reported confusion during evacuation and concerns over inconsistent security screening, though officials confirmed all were screened using updated rules allowing laptops and toiletries in bags.
The domestic terminal remained unaffected, and the airport apologized for disruptions.
