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 welcomes nine new services in just over two weeks
29.3.21

Melbourne Airport is forecasting a significant increase in passenger numbers over Easter and the school holidays, with nine new services launching in just two weeks and daily passenger numbers expected to increase to the highest levels since COVID-19 began.

The new services will add a combined 800,000 seats per year out of Melbourne Airport, a positive sign for domestic recovery.

Melbourne Airport Chief of Aviation Lorie Argus said the busy period ahead indicates strong pent-up demand to fly.

“As traveller confidence grows, our domestic airline partners are responding by adding more flights and new routes to major cities, regional and leisure destinations meeting pent-up demand,” said Ms Argus.

“There is a strong appetite for travel among Victorians and as a result, Melbourne Airport is already seeing more activity around the terminal precinct. This shift is really exciting for us and the entire airport community that benefits from additional passengers.”

The increase in forward bookings across all services confirms that many Victorians are looking forward to travelling interstate again.

15 MARCH

Qantas: Melbourne-Newcastle, 12 return services a week.

28 MARCH

Qantas: Melbourne-Mount Gambier, five return services a week.
