New Pick Up & Drop Off now open

Our new free Pick Up and Drop Off zones for Terminals 1 (Qantas), 2 (International) and 3 (Virgin Australia) are now open in the T123 Transport Hub. There are no changes to T123 Car Park, car rental return, buses, shuttles or coaches, or Pick up for Uber, Taxi or rideshare. We know it's a big change but we have extra support available every step of the way. Visit the Pick Up and Drop Off Hub for information on accessibility assistance available, our Journey Planner tool, FAQs and more: https://www.melbourneairport.com.au/pick-up-and-drop-off-hub

Congratulations to the Melbourne Airport team and partners, suppliers of our airport community, who are our finalists for 2025.

Each of our finalists is recognised for the inspirational contribution they have made to Melbourne Airport’s vision, to be Australia’s favourite airport destination.

Our judging panel now has the difficult task of determining who will be the winners of the Melbourne Airport Excellence Awards for 2025. We wish all our finalists the best of luck.
