Melbourne Airport

Our first-ever Car Park Sleepout, held on the rooftop of Terminal 4, saw an inspiring show of support from our community. Participants spent the night in their cars to raise much-needed awareness and funds for Juno and McAuley two organisations providing crucial support to women facing homelessness due to domestic violence. We’re excited to share that together we raised an incredible $40,000! A huge thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to this wonderful initiative. We will be looking to host this incredible event next year. In the meantime, if you’d like to support either charity, you can make a donation here: Juno: https://lnkd.in/gXP-_enQ McAuley: https://lnkd.in/eynmM6yd #melbourneairport #carparksleepout #fundraising #juno #mcauley

We loved hosting the Guide Dogs Victoria in Terminal 4 today and giving out free coffee thanks to Quickshots cafe. As well as raising awareness for Guide Dogs today, we have recently launched Mobility Hubs at every terminal. Travellers with low vision or other accessible needs can get assistance in finding their way through our airport. #MelbourneAirport #PupUpCafe #GuideDogsAustralia #MobilityHubs

Exciting news! Melbourne Airport has unveiled plans for Elite Park, a vibrant 32-hectare entertainment, leisure, and retail precinct.

Subject to Federal Government approval, the project will unfold in three stages, with works to commence in 2025. The first new tenants are expected to be welcomed by the end of 2026. Chief of Ground Transport, Property and Retail Jai McDermott said Elite Park is designed to be a destination for work and leisure and an exciting place for the local community. “Melbourne Airport is more than just an airport. We are building community spaces that create jobs and places where people can spend time with friends and family,” he said.

Melbourne Airport is preparing to welcome more than 1.7 million passengers in the coming two weeks, as both the school holidays and AFL Grand Final kick off. Speaking to 7NEWS Australia, Chief of Ground Transport, Property & Retail Jai McDermott said the airport was attempting to minimise disruption but warned some traffic congestion was likely during peak times. These delays are due to construction on our terminal road network to deliver a quicker journey to the terminals and new dedicated passenger pick-up and drop-off zones. For those travelling to or from the airport during this period, we recommend allowing an additional 30 minutes for your journey.  If you’re picking up or dropping off passengers, we encourage you to use the Terminal 4 Car Park via Naarm Way to avoid congestion in the Terminal 123 forecourt. We apologise for the inconvenience, but with growing passenger numbers it’s essential we upgrade our road network to reduce future delays.

The addition of a third runway is expected to support an additional 51,000 jobs in Victoria and contribute an extra $4.6 billion annually to the gross state product by 2046, driving job creation and economic growth. Increased capacity will be another major benefit, as the third runway will accommodate an additional 23 million passengers and 136,500 flight movements annually by 2046, representing a 40% increase in passengers and a 43% increase in aircraft movements.

Our CEO Lorie Argus has shared her insights on how our third runway will shape the future of Melbourne. The introduction of a parallel runway system will enhance airport capacity, and will also play a critical role in supporting our city’s growth.
