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.

Moving Walks installed in Terminal 4 ahead of busy holiday period
10.12.19

Melbourne Airport has installed moving walkways inside Terminal 4, in response to overwhelming feedback from domestic holidaymakers.  

The multi-million dollar equipment, switched on today, aims to ease the walk for passengers from check-in to boarding.  

Melbourne Airport Chief of Aviation Andrew Gardiner said the airport is focused on improving the traveller experience and hoped the infrastructure upgrade would deliver a great outcome for passengers. 

“We know a lot of our travellers feel the walk along Pier G is too long, so we have added the travelators to reduce stress on passengers that may have difficulty walking long distances,” said Mr Gardiner. 

“Airports can be stressful environments and we are determined to invest in making the entire passenger journey from the freeway to runway as easy and comfortable as possible.” 

The moving walk technology, provided by thyssenkrupp Elevator, is known as iwalk and the company’s Victorian NI/MOD Sales Manager, Rahebul Hasan said iwalk establishes a new industry benchmark.  

“The modular space-saving concept facilitates planning, integration and operation without compromising usability. With the pit-less floor mounted option, the iwalk is ideal for existing structures as per this Terminal 4 project.”  

“For passengers travelling with luggage and trolleys, it offers greater safety and comfort and the iwalks can be reversed to suit inbound and outbound passenger movement. Fewer components and low energy consumption complete this sustainable product’s ground-breaking engineering.” 

Melbourne Airport is also expanding its bathroom amenities inside Terminal 4, which will be open before Christmas.
