The car parks at Melbourne Airport are busy

The car parks at Melbourne Airport are busy this week The Value Car Park is nearly sold out Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. If you do have a car park booking, please arrive 30 minutes earlier than usual and have your QR code ready for a smooth entry and exit. Due to ongoing construction in the Terminal T1 T2 T3 car park pick-up and drop-off areas, passengers should plan for potential delays of up to an hour during peak times if you are being dropped off by a loved one, taxi or Uber. To avoid congestion, we recommend using the equivalent pick-up and drop-off facilities at nearby Terminal 4 car park, which is a 10-minute walk to and from Terminals 1, 2, and 3. Simply drive to the Terminal 4 Car Park and proceed to Level 2 for drop-offs or Level 1 for pick-ups. Thank you for your patience while we are 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.

Please check this page for regular project updates.

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.

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 express road plus dedicated pick-up and drop-off zones

We’re building a more direct road from the Tullamarine Freeway for easier access to all terminals.

Closer, more convenient locations to access taxi and Uber

We’re making it easier for arriving passengers to access taxis and Ubers, with new and improved pick-up zones being introduced from May 2025.

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.
