Long term planning has enabled Melbourne Airport to finalise priorities and arrange finance for major aeronautical developments well in advance of their construction.

The airport's pricing agreement with airlines incorporates a five year capital works program, which includes A380 specific works as well as other apron, runway and terminal development. This unique understanding has streamlined the planning and implementation of vital aeronautical development projects, enabling Melbourne Airport to focus on delivering outcomes.

With A380 works on schedule and a $550 million development program underway to accommodate growing passenger traffic, Victoria will continue to reap the benefits that come from having a world leading airport on its doorstep.
