Car parks are busy

ALL car parks are very busy over the Easter period, with limited drive-up spots available. Please consider alternative transport options. Please have your QR code ready for a smooth entry and exit. Our roads and car parks may have changed since your last visit. Due to ongoing construction in the T123 car park pick-up and drop-off areas, passengers should plan for potential delays of up to an hour during peak times. Learn about the Naarm Way Stage 2 project to plan ahead: https://www.melbourneairport.com.au/plan-ahead. To avoid congestion, we recommend using the equivalent pick-up and drop-off facilities at nearby Terminal 4 car park, just a short 10-minute walk 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.

Malindo Air takes-off from Melbourne to Bali and beyond
7.6.18

Key points

Melbourne Airport celebrated as Malindo Air’s inaugural service to Bali departed this morning carrying 162 travellers on a Boeing 737-800.

 

Malindo Air is the third airline to service the Melbourne- Bali route, and will operate seven times per week, adding a combined 118, 260 seats flying both-ways annually.


Melbourne Airport Chief of Aviation, Simon Gandy, said he was delighted to welcome another new international airline and to see increased capacity on the ever popular Melbourne-Bali route.


“We are thrilled to secure Malindo Air at Melbourne Airport, in a move that creates more choice and frequency for travellers flying to and from Indonesia and beyond,” said Mr Gandy.


“We are extremely excited by this prospect, considering passenger traffic between Victoria and Indonesia has been growing at 8.6 per cent, per annum, in the past five years. This highlights we are rapidly filling current capacity, the strong travel demand in the route and reinforces Victoria’s fascination with the leisure hotspot.


“The full service carrier also opens up connections to Indonesia and beyond, with opportunities for Victorians to explore other Indonesian leisure destinations, such as the world’s largest Buddhist temple in Yogyakarta, Central Java. The flight continues onwards to Kuala Lumpur and the airline also offers good flight connections to the South East Asia regions and the Indian sub-continent.


“We are delighted with the development of new services and routes that boost the airport’s network. We are seeing more airlines introduce new services and more frequency into Indonesia. Combined with this new service by Malindo Air, we are now able to offer up to half a million seats each way annually into Indonesia, demonstrating the strength and resilience of the destination.”


“To keep up with international passenger growth over the next decade, we are focused on improving our airport facilities to ensure we continue to meet the needs of our travellers. The most important part of our investment in the coming years will be our proposed third runway, which will enable us to provide even more options for Victorian travellers flying off to see the world.”

Malindo Air’s daily service will arrive at 4.40am and depart at 7.00am.
