Terminal 4 is a great example of modern infrastructure and it will help to drive jobs in Victoria and beyond,” said Mr Morrison. Melbourne Airport CEO Lyell Strambi said the official opening of T4 was a major milestone in the development of Melbourne Airport. “T4 provides our passengers with a new level of service, and our airline customers the room to keep growing their business to meet demand for air travel.” “T4 has been built in response to the tremendous growth in domestic aviation over recent years, with an ever-increasing
number of Australians choosing to fly for work and leisure.” “There are many things to like about T4—it is the first terminal in the world to open as a complete self-service operation, incorporating the newest technology and facilities such as self-service check-in and automated bag drop. “It features an impressive departure lounge, with a superb range of national and international food and retail brands, ensuring there is something for just about everyone.” T4 is home to Jetstar, Tigerair and Regional Express and was opened to passengers in two
stages as the final touches to the customer experience, look and feel were completed. Melbourne Airport welcomed Tigerair to T4 in August 2015 and Jetstar in November 2015. Regional Express Airlines currently arrives at T4 and will soon move its check-in facilities to the new terminal. T4 is located to the south of Terminal 3 and is built on 20,000 square metres over three levels and can accommodate up to 10 million passengers a year. Almost 2 million passengers transited through T4 in the period from August to December 2015.
