There are 56 boarding gates in the four terminals of Melbourne Airport, of which 40 and 16 are used for domestic and international flights. There are six apron suppliers parked on the south freight apron. Since July 2005, the original name of each terminal has been changed. Qantas' domestic terminal was changed to the current terminal 1, and the international terminal and Beihang terminal (formerly known as Anjie's domestic terminal) were changed to terminals 2 and 3.

Terminal 1

Terminal 1 is mainly used by Qantas, Jetstar and QantasLink, with the departure floor on the upper floor and the arrival floor on the ground. The boarding bridge is connected to all 15 boarding gates in the terminal building.

The expanded Qantas Terminal was opened at the end of 1999. The expansion project cost 50 million yuan and took two years to complete. Qantas Club, Business Class and President's Cabin are the three VIP rooms in Qantas Terminal 1.

Terminal 2

In addition to Jetstar flights to Singapore via Darwin, there are international flights in the processing zone of Terminal 2. There are boarding gates 16 in Terminal 2, and 1 1 is connected to the boarding bridge, but 12 to 16 are not connected to the apron. Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas (with two VIP rooms for first class and business class passengers), Singapore Airlines, Air New Zealand, United Airlines and Emirates have VIP rooms in the second terminal.

In 2007, the Second Wharf spent 300 million yuan to expand. These projects include increasing retail facilities and VIP rooms, establishing a satellite terminal, improving the capacity of handling luggage, and redesigning the scope of customs and security inspection. The newly-built satellite terminal will be equipped with floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the north-south runway and three double-deck boarding bridges, which can accommodate an Airbus A380 or two smaller passenger planes. Two new baggage conveyors will increase the baggage handling capacity to cope with the extra passengers brought by the A380. All projects started in June 2007 +065438+ 10, and are expected to be completed in 20 12.

Terminal 3

Formerly known as "Anjie Aviation Terminal", it is now owned by Melbourne Airport and used by Virgin Blue Airlines and Regional Express. Terminal 3 * * * has 19 boarding gates, of which 1 1 is connected to the boarding bridge.

The third terminal expansion of Anjie Airlines 1989, completed 199 1. Later, Kendell Airlines, a regional airline owned by Anjie, moved into this terminal. The terminal was only used by Anjie Airlines and its domestic flights until Anjie 200 1 went bankrupt. Tesner then intends to acquire Anjie, and Terminal 3 is planned to be handed over to a new Anjie airline in advance. In 2002, Tesner withdrew from the acquisition and Anjie sold another terminal to Melbourne Airport. Melbourne Airport later renovated Terminal 3, and Virgin Blue moved in from Terminal 4. Virgin Blue and Regional Express also have VIP rooms in Terminal 3.

Terminal 4

Terminal 4, formerly known as "China Express" or China Southern Airlines Terminal, is the first low-cost aviation terminal in major airports in Australia. The fourth terminal was originally used by Virgin Blue and Impulse Airlines, but after the collapse of Anjie Airlines, Virgin Blue moved into the third terminal. In June, 2007, Melbourne Airport reconstructed the fourth terminal with 5 million yuan, referring to the cheap terminal models of Singapore Changi Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Changi Airport and Kuala Lumpur Airport charge low land fees and airport handling fees to low-cost airlines, while airports provide passenger transport infrastructure for low-cost airlines. Compared with the main terminals, these terminals have no boarding bridges, smaller conveniences and retail facilities. However, unlike Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Terminal 4 is not connected with other major terminals of Melbourne Airport. Tiger Airways Australia has been using Terminal 4 alone since it set sail.

Jetstar confirmed that it has discussed with Melbourne Airport the expansion of Terminal 4 to adapt to the future development of domestic low-cost airlines. The proposed expansion plan includes upgrading the infrastructure for handling Tiger Airways and Jetstar flights, but it will involve resetting the existing freight center. The project cost is estimated to be hundreds of millions, and it will take five years to complete.
