The car parks and roads at Melbourne Airport are very busy this week

All car parks at Melbourne Airport are very busy this week and booking out fast. If you don't have a booking, consider alternate forms of transport to come to the airport. If you do have a booking, allow extra time to find a spot and have your QR code ready for a smooth entry. If using the Terminal 4 car park including pick up and drop off, please note Naarm Way is closed until mid November. To access the T4 car park, please exit the Tullamarine Freeway at Exit 18 on Mercer Drive, then turn right at the Airport Drive roundabout and follow the signs to the Terminal 4 car park. Proceed to Level 2 for drop-offs or Level 1 for pick-ups. Due to ongoing construction in the Terminal 1,2,3 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.  Thank you for your patience while we are building your airport.

New baggage system for International (T2) terminal
22.8.24

Overview

As the number of international passengers and airlines expands, Melbourne Airport is increasing the capacity and capability of its international baggage system.

As part of this project, the existing baggage handling system will be replaced with next-generation technology, high-speed checked bag screening machines and a tote-based Independent Carrier System. This will allow the system to process more bags, while improving baggage tracking and reducing the likelihood of damage to luggage.

The expansion will allow for the installation of more powerful screening equipment for baggage travelling on international flights, in line with European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) Standard 3.

This project is designed to future proof Melbourne Airport’s international baggage system, with additional storage capability that will enable new opportunities for an enhanced customer experience.

Impact on travellers in 2024

We are aiming to have no disruption to international baggage services as we work through this project.
