The car parks at Melbourne Airport are busy

The car parks at Melbourne Airport are busy this week. The Value car park is sold out this week, the Terminal 1,2,3 car park is almost sold out and the Terminal 4 car park is selling fast. If you have an existing car park booking, please arrive 30 minutes earlier than usual and have your QR code ready for a smooth entry and exit. Due to ongoing construction in the Terminal 1,2,3 car park pick-up and drop-off areas, passengers should plan for potential delays of up to an hour during peak times if you are being dropped off by a loved one, taxi or Uber. To avoid congestion, we recommend using the equivalent pick-up and drop-off facilities at nearby Terminal 4 car park, which is a 10-minute walk to and 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. Thank you for your patience while we are building your airport.

Vietjet connects Victorians to vibrant Vietnam

The airline’s 377-seat Airbus A330 touched down in Melbourne at 10:35pm last night, providing Victorians with a new, cost-effective way to reach Ho Chi Minh City and beyond.

Vietjet not only operates an extensive short-haul network within south-east Asia, but will also offer connections to India, Japan and South Korea with flights from Melbourne timed to provide convenient connections to onward destinations in the region.

The airline will initially operate three return services each week, departing Melbourne on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 12:30am.

Melbourne Airport Chief of Aviation Jim Parashos said Vietjet’s arrival would significantly boost seat capacity to Vietnam and increased choice for passengers heading to the region.

“Victorians can’t get enough of visiting Vietnam, it has consistently been one of our top 10 international destinations,” said Mr Parashos.

“Low-cost fares will make the trip even more appealing to leisure and business travellers, and of course people wanting to connect with family and friends at both ends of the route.

“Victoria is home to a large Vietnamese community, with Melbourne’s vibrant and fast-growing migrant population making the city a key inbound market with Melbourne Airport the natural gateway to Australia.

“There are also around 9,500 Vietnamese students enrolled at Victorian institutions making Vietnam one of the state’s largest international student populations.”

 The airline plans to increase to daily operations by December 2024, which represents an annual increase of 136,000 seats on the route.
