The car parks at Melbourne Airport are busy

The car parks at Melbourne Airport are busy this week. The Value car park is sold out this week, the Terminal 1,2,3 car park is almost sold out and the Terminal 4 car park is selling fast. If you have an existing 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 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. 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.

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.
