The airport is currently undergoing a transformation project announced in 2014, and is expected to see A$10 billion (US$7.6 million) invested over 20 years in the development of airport terminals, road networks and airfield as well as capacity upgrades.

Melbourne Airport chief of aviation Simon Gandy, said: “At Melbourne Airport we are continuing to exceed the industry’s growth expectations and are on target for annual passenger numbers to reach 60 million by 2033. In the past 12 months alone, more than 10 million passengers travelled through T4, making it a very busy domestic hub.

“In the coming months we look forward to unveiling a number of other significant infrastructure upgrades including an eighth baggage carousel in our international terminal and our new T2 Luxury Precinct.”

Tigerair Australia’s head of communications, Vanessa Regan, said: “Last year alone we flew nearly three million passengers in and out of Melbourne Airport. The redeveloped T4 is a huge step change for our customers and supports future planned growth of Tigerair.”
