Car parks at Melbourne Airport are very busy

Our car parks are very busy. If you do not have a car park booking, consider alternative modes of transport. Due to ongoing construction on Naarm Way Stage 2, please allow 30 minutes extra travel time for potential traffic delays. If you do have a booking, please allow plenty of time to find a spot and have your QR code ready for a smooth entry and exit.

Overview

Terminal 1 has been home to Qantas and its predecessors Australian Airlines and Trans Australia Airlines since 1971. 

To ensure the terminal continues to reflect the best of Victoria, Melbourne Airport has undertaken a significant upgrade of its retail outlets and facilities.

This included the installation of new escalators, a refresh of the main concourse and the opening of exciting new food and beverage options.

Stage 1 of this project was completed in December 2023. We are now in process of building Stage 2 of the project which includes upgrades to the walkway as you head towards Gates 1-12.

Impact on travellers in 2024

The airport may look at little bit different as we upgrade Terminal 1 (T1). Please look for directions on the temporary walls on the walkway as you head towards Gates 1-12.
