Building Your Airport

Overview

Victoria is growing, and so is Melbourne Airport.

We are embarking on a significant program of construction to ensure Melbourne Airport has capacity to serve projected increases in population, exports and imports.

This works program will enhance our airfield, terminals and ground transport system, but we understand it may cause some inconvenience and ask for your understanding as we navigate through this exciting phase.

Your support and patience while we create an airport that is equipped for the future is greatly appreciated.

We invite you to visit the Major Projects Hub, where you can learn more about our Third Runway and other major construction projects, and share your views as plans take shape.

Third runway to increase capacity

We are building a third runway. This will deliver much-needed aviation infrastructure capacity for Victoria and help support thousands of new jobs.

New Pick Up and Drop Off now open

Our free Pick Up and Drop Off zones are now open in the new T123 Transport Hub.

International terminal expansion

We're planning for the future of international travel at Melbourne Airport. With international travel at record highs, we are working closely with airlines to finalise the details of a major international terminal expansion to deliver increased terminal capacity and an enhanced passenger experience.

New International Baggage System

Melbourne Airport’s new world-class international baggage system has transformed the way bags are handled at the airport. The $500 million system supports the airport’s growing international passenger numbers, with capacity to handle more bags and provide real-time bag tracking.

New direct road - Naarm Way

Naarm Way is a new direct road from the Tullamarine Freeway, making it easier to access all terminals and improving traffic flow around the airport.

Closer, more convenient locations to access taxi and Uber

We’ve made it easier for arriving passengers to access taxis and Ubers with new and improved pick-up zones.

Better terminals for travellers

We are upgrading our terminals to improve the food and beverage options, baggage systems, rest areas and toilets to help make your trip as smooth as possible.

Better public transport

We are in discussions with Government to deliver better public transport options for Victorians.

Better, faster, smoother trolleys

We've upgraded our trolleys for smoother, quieter and easier journeys across each terminal

Improved sustainability

We are building a bigger on-site solar farm to use and provide energy in a sustainable way.

New hotel close to Terminal 4 (T4)

We have opened a new hotel close to Terminal 4 with accommodation, office and leisure facilities
