The car parks and roads at Melbourne Airport are very busy this week

All car parks at Melbourne Airport are very busy this week and booking out fast. If you don't have a booking, consider alternate forms of transport to come to the airport. If you do have a booking, allow extra time to find a spot and have your QR code ready for a smooth entry. If using the Terminal 4 car park including pick up and drop off, please note Naarm Way is closed until mid November. To access the T4 car park, please exit the Tullamarine Freeway at Exit 18 on Mercer Drive, then turn right at the Airport Drive roundabout and follow the signs to the Terminal 4 car park. Proceed to Level 2 for drop-offs or Level 1 for pick-ups. 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.  Thank you for your patience while we are building your airport.

Winter holidays ready for take-off at Melbourne Airport

School holiday traveller numbers are set to soar, with Melbourne Airport preparing to welcome almost two million passengers across the upcoming two week break as Victorians chase the sun.

A total of 1,927,927 passengers are forecast through the airport from Friday 4 July to Monday 21 July, which represents a five per cent increase on the same time last year.

These numbers include a total of 647,927 international and 1,280,000 domestic passengers.

The airport will welcome an AFL grand final crowd every day of the holidays with a daily average of 107,000 passengers. The busiest day is expected to be Friday 11 July, with more than 118,000 passengers forecast.

Travellers will be welcomed by some new faces these holidays with the Tourism Group taking over visitor services from tomorrow.

The new visitor information hub will be located in the international terminal and provide passengers a one stop shop for all travel enquiries including local tours and transport options along with lost property.

Melbourne Airport Chief of Aviation Jim Parashos said the Tourism Group will be a great addition to the airport.

“We’re thrilled to welcome the Tourism Group who, along with our smiling volunteers, will provide travellers a centralised hub to answer any questions they may have these holidays.

“It's no surprise given how cold it’s been lately that passengers are chasing the sun in large numbers, with the beaches of South East Asia a favourite this Winter.

“We’re undertaking some pretty extensive works within the T123 carpark at the moment as we build brand new drop off and pick up levels, to avoid this construction head to the T4 carpark these holidays for a smoother journey.

“You can take the stress out of your airport journey by jumping online and booking your parking in advance and allowing a little extra time to check-in and get to the gate.

“Passengers will also be able to land a deal with more than 70 retailers offering budget friendly food and beverage deals for school holiday travellers.
