Melbourne Airport’s New Pick-Up & Drop-Off Hub: What Travellers Need to Know in Spring 2026
Big changes are coming to Melbourne Airport in Spring 2026 with the opening of the new T123 Transport Hub as part of the Naarm Way redevelopment project.
At Auroo Chauffeurs, we know that airport travel can already be stressful, so we want to help our clients stay informed and prepared before these changes take effect.
What’s Changing?
Passengers travelling through Terminals 1, 2, and 3 — including Qantas, International, and Virgin Australia flights — will notice a completely new pick-up and drop-off experience.
The new transport hub has been designed to make airport access easier and more efficient by:
- Reducing traffic congestion around the terminals.
- Improving traffic flow throughout the airport precinct.
- Providing larger and better-organised pick-up and drop-off areas.
- Supporting Melbourne Airport’s future growth and expansion.
A new pedestrian bridge will connect the hub directly to the terminals, creating a smoother journey for travellers.
Why Is the Airport Making These Changes?
Melbourne Airport continues to experience significant passenger growth, and the current road system is under increasing pressure.
The new transport hub and road network have been developed to improve safety, reduce delays, and support future terminal expansion. While it may take some time for regular travellers to adjust, these upgrades are expected to make the airport experience much easier in the long run.
What Travellers Can Expect?
If you’re being dropped off or collected by family, friends, or a driver, you’ll notice:A dedicated pick-up and drop-off hub.
- A short walk to the terminals via the new pedestrian bridge.
- A short walk to the terminals via the new pedestrian bridge.
- Updated road layouts and signage throughout the airport.
