New pick-up and drop-off zones at Melbourne Airport

Key points

• Melbourne Airport has opened a new $500 million pick-up and drop-off zone at its multi-level car park, replacing the 50-year-old service area in front of terminals 1, 2 and 3. The new zone, connected via an elevated pedestrian bridge, aims to reduce traffic congestion and offers nearly three times as many vehicle spaces.
• Travellers will need to walk between 172 and 380 metres to reach the terminals, with support services available for those with disabilities or mobility difficulties.
• The change also paves the way for a $4.5 billion expansion of the international terminal.
