Plan ahead: Allow extra travel time to Melbourne Airport

PSA: If you’re heading to the airport over January to early March 2025, we encourage you to allow an extra 30 minutes for your journey due to potential delays caused by construction works in the Terminal 123 forecourt. If you're picking up or dropping off loved ones, consider using Exit 19A and the Terminal 4 Car Park to avoid congestion in the Terminal 123 forecourt. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Overview

Melbourne Airport received submissions during Master Plan 2022 and Melbourne Airport’s Third Runway Major Development Plan public exhibition asking for noise contours that reflect current operations. We have prepared noise contours reflecting operations at Melbourne Airport for each month in response.

Each report contains a summary of the aircraft movements (including movements by the time of day, aircraft type and runway) and n-above contours for that month. Noise and Flight Path Monitoring System (NFPMS) data was acquired from Airservices and used to prepare each analysis.
