MELBOURNE Airport has officially opened its 4th terminal, a three-storey, 20,000m² building which had progressively welcomed passengers since mid-August.
Terminal 4, which runs a complete self-service and automated bag-drop operation, is located to the south of Terminal 3 and has been home to Tigerair Australia and Jetstar since August 18 and November 10 respectively. Regional Express Airlines arrives at Terminal 4 and will move its check-in facilities there in early 2016.
The new terminal can accommodate up to 10 million passengers a year and has welcomed almost 1.1 million passengers since its soft launch.
Over 30 retail and F&B outlets are currently in operation at Terminal 4.
