Melbourne Airport

Melbourne Airport is proud to support Victoria's record exports. We now have three times the number of dedicated international freighter flights than in 2019 plus record cargo capacity in the hold of international aircraft. Victoria’s total exports increased by 3.6 per cent in the June quarter – taking exports to a record $17.6 billion. This growth highlights the critical role our curfew-free operations play in Victoria’s economy, with the average daily international flight worth $154 million to the state. Melbourne Airport’s planned third runway is designed to help keep pace with Victoria’s growing population and to support our state’s key industries. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Victorian State Government to further expand international airline capacity, strengthening cargo operations, and increasing local jobs. #MelbourneAirport #Aviation #Cargo #Export #Capacity

We are pleased to announce a major milestone in the Naarm Way Stage 2 project. This week, our team began lifting beams into place at Ramp 2, marking a significant step forward in the development of this critical infrastructure. Once completed, Naarm Way will: - Make access to all terminals smoother and faster. - Make it easier for travellers to find the right terminal with a more direct and hassle-free route to all terminals. - Support future passenger growth as Victoria grows The first 5 of a total 35 Super-T beams have been successfully installed, with the remaining beams to follow in the coming days and weeks. This installation represents one of the final major structural elements of the project. With the beams in place, we will soon progress to building the bridge deck and installing parapets, ultimately connecting the southern side of the ramp to Naarm Way. We are proud of the progress our team has made and look forward to see this essential infrastructure come to life. #MelbourneAirport #NaarmWay #ProjectMilestone #Infrastructure

This week, we proudly celebrated Wear It Purple Day, a significant event dedicated to creating a supportive, safe, empowering, and inclusive environment for LGBTQIA+ youth and the broader community. The 2024 theme, ‘Your Passion, Your Pride,’ celebrates LGBTQIA+ individuals openly and visibly achieving their dreams. To honour this, we hosted three forum sessions where our team members had the opportunity to hear from APAC Pride committee members (our Pride group), delve into why this day is so important, and learn about our new People Central module, ‘Allyship in Action.’ These sessions provided a valuable space for team members to ask LGBTQIA+ related questions they may have had but were unsure where to find answers. This initiative reinforces our commitment to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome. A big thank you to APAC Pride for their continued efforts to remind us of the ongoing work needed to combat discrimination, both globally and at Melbourne Airport. We remain dedicated to fostering a culture of celebration, education, belonging, support, and respect. #MelbourneAirport #WearItPurple #YourPassionYourPride #Inclusion #Diversity

Melbourne Airport’s T2 Next project will be delivering a world class international baggage system to the airport. The half-a-billion-dollar project is replacing traditional baggage belts with a new tote-based system, allowing for real-time bag tracking and a new luggage storage facility, which will pave the way for an eventual introduction of anytime check-in. The upgrade will expand our international terminal footprint and provide a new state-of-the-art baggage processing system to improve safety and reliability. Check out the fly-through video below for an exclusive preview of the enhancements coming to our baggage system. #MelbourneAirport #T2Next #BaggageSystem #Upgrade #ThirdRunway Spatial Media - Interactive Visual Engagement

Exciting news! Juneyao Airlines has announced plans to launch direct flights between Melbourne Airport and Shanghai, starting on 19 December. The service will operate three times per week, before increasing to daily services in January and February, using their flagship Boeing 787-9. The airline's arrival will put Melbourne Airport’s mainland Chinese seat capacity above pre-pandemic levels. This addition means more international carriers will now serve Melbourne Airport than ever before, highlighting the need for our investment in projects such as the international baggage system upgrade and third runway. These upgrades will ensure we’re ready for future growth and offer more choices for travellers. #melbourneairport #airlinenews #aviation #juneyaoairlines #shanghai

Last night, a special dinner event in Chengdu, China, brought together our CEO Lorie Argus and esteemed aviation industry leaders for an evening of networking, highlighting our commitment to building relationships, fostering collaboration, and creating connections that matter. Lorie highlighted the remarkable partnership between Melbourne Airport and Chengdu International Airport, which began with Sichuan Airlines' direct service between Chengdu and Melbourne in 2013. This route has connected our vibrant cultures and has also generated substantial economic benefits through trade and tourism. During the evening, we proudly showcased our newly launched WeChat Mini Program, reflecting our dedication to enhancing communication and engagement with our Chinese airline partners and travellers. We are excited to continue driving growth and success through these vital connections and collaborations, benefiting both regions.
