Melbourne Airport is expanding its airfield asset by developing a new taxiway network worth $300 million.

As the largest single airfield investment for the airport since it’s opening in 1970, the new taxiway network will provide valuable additional space for aircraft traffic, improving the efficiency of movements on the ground as well as supporting the growth in Melbourne’s international connectivity.

The construction project will see the development of more than 250,000 square metres of new taxiway pavement and is designed to be completed without significant interruption to a single one of the airport’s daily flights.
