Overview
There are disruptions due to construction work around Melbourne Airport. Please check this list so you can plan ahead.
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.
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.
Please refer to the map below, where each impact is labelled with a corresponding number for easy reference.
