Melbourne Airport Introduces New Drop‑Off and Pick‑Up Zones on Oct. 6

Melbourne Airport will open new drop‑off and pick‑up zones on October 6, ending a 56‑year practice of passengers being dropped off at the departures ramp. The change follows a review of passenger flow and safety concerns. The new zones will be located near the main entrance and will allow vehicles to park and hand passengers directly to the terminal. The airport said the move will reduce congestion and improve the passenger experience. Staff will guide drivers to the new areas during the transition.
