Melbourne Airport Is Building a New Ground-Transport Precinct
Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) has welcomed generations of travellers — but with more passengers than ever, it has outgrown its existing roads. As part of its *Building Your Airport* program, the airport is constructing a brand-new ground-transport precinct to make getting to and from your flight far smoother.
What's Changing
- An undercover pick-up and drop-off area — sheltered from Melbourne's weather, with around double the number of bays available today.
- Direct access from the Tullamarine Freeway via a new dedicated road connection, so vehicles reach the terminals without weaving through congested airport roads.
- A new pedestrian bridge linking the precinct straight to the terminals.
- Less time stuck in traffic around the airport at peak times.
For a city where a 15-kilometre run can blow out to 45 minutes in peak hour, anything that eases congestion around the terminals is welcome news for travellers.
What It Means for Your AUSZ Transfer
While the works are underway, terminal access points and pick-up zones around Melbourne Airport will keep changing. That is exactly where a professional chauffeur earns their keep:
- Your AUSZ chauffeur tracks your flight and stays across the current layout, so you are collected from the right place at the right time — even if the precinct has changed since your last trip.
- You are met in an immaculate European vehicle — Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Audi — not a rideshare you have to hunt for in a crowded queue.
- Liked your driver? Save them as a Preferred Driver in the AUSZ app and request the same trusted chauffeur for every future Melbourne Airport run.
