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.

Minimum public safety requirements

Overview

"All members of the public visiting or passing through Melbourne or Launceston airports have the right to a safe airport experience".

Public safety is an incredibly important aspect of everything we do as an organisation. Every operation and every function involved in the running of an airport includes an appreciation for public safety, and we are always doing our very best to identify improvements that contribute towards the prevention of public safety incidents.

The APAC Minimum Public Safety Requirements introduce 20 industry best practice safety requirements that APAC, its contractors, services providers and other parties engaged by APAC, are expected to apply to every project, job or task. This is required reading for anyone undertaking work at Melbourne or Launceston Airports, and is available for download on this page.
