Car parks are busy

ALL car parks are very busy this week, 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.

Melbourne Airport voted best airport in Australia/Pacific by travellers
11.5.20

Melbourne Airport has been named Best Airport in Australia/Pacific for 2020, thanks to the feedback of millions of travellers taking part in the world’s largest aviation customer service poll.

 The top gong was awarded to Melbourne by aviation ratings giant Skytrax, recognising the airport’s efforts to improve customer service and facilities.

 Known as the Oscars of the industry, the 2020 World Airport Awards were a little different this year announcing winners online to accommodate the global COVID-19 restrictions.  

 Melbourne Airport CEO Lyell Strambi said he was pleased to win the tick of approval from travellers.

“I am extremely proud that Melbourne achieved best airport status for the region, especially given the award is purely based on passenger feedback,” said Mr Strambi.

“The traveller is always front of mind in everything we do and it is nice to see our work resonate with so many Victorians and visitors alike.

“We are fortunate to serve Melbourne and this award is another sign of our progress to make this an airport Melbourne can be proud of.

“Last year we poured significant investment into creating a more seamless traveller journey and that ranged from installing smart security screening technology – eliminating the need for people to remove laptops from bags – to adding self-service check-in kiosks to reduce queues.

“We also made a real effort to improve wayfinding, reduce congestion on our road network and create a sense of place by attracting local brands and hospitality venues to the airport.  

“Although we’re currently suffering from the devastating impacts of COVID-19 it is nice to reflect on the achievements made prior to the health pandemic, which saw Melbourne welcome more than 37 million people last financial year.

“There is still a lot of work to be done and we are powering forward despite the necessary distraction while we deal with the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis.” 

Edward Plaisted, CEO of Skytrax said: "We are thrilled to see Melbourne Airport winning this major accolade at the awards this year. Melbourne Airport should be delighted with this victory in what is a very competitive section of the survey.

“Most notably, the airport also improved its overall standing in the global survey to be ranked in the top 20 this year.

“Melbourne Airport also performed well in the Staff Service award for Australia/Pacific securing a fine third-place, and for airports serving 30 to 40-million passengers, Melbourne was in fifth position.”
