BAC CEO: Jan-2020 coronavirus hotspot designation 'collapsed forward bookings'

Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) CEO Gert-Jan de Graaff stated (21-Jan-2021) "It will take many years for us to recover from the impacts of the virus" and during the height of border restrictions, "our Domestic Terminal recorded its quietest day ever with just 31 passengers on 12 April 2020, Easter Sunday". Mr de Graaff stated the Jan-2021 period where Greater Brisbane "was designated as a [coronavirus] hotspot collapsed forward bookings and interstate travel" with the outlook remaining "challenging". Mr de Graaff stated: "We are eager to see quarantine-free travel in both directions across the Tasman as soon as possible… This could be the difference between survival and collapse for many hundreds of businesses across our state".
