 Melbourne Airport is located about
25 kms from the City Centre, with a four star Hilton Hotel.
A curfew free 24 hour international airport, and Australia's
second biggest airfreight hub, it is consistently voted in the top
five airports in the world.
The airport has direct international air links to 125
destinations in 35 countries.
Renowned for its world class facilities, Melbourne
Airport's international and domestic terminals are conveniently
located under one roof, with the Domestic Express Terminal, home to
Virgin Blue, just a short walk away.
In 2000-01, Melbourne Airport catered for more than 3.3
million international and 13.5 million domestic travellers.
In recognition of its contribution to the Victorian tourism
industry, Melbourne Airport has won two Australian Tourism
Awards for General Tourism services - the only Australian airport
to have won such an award.
Melbourne Airport currently handles 27% of Australia's
airfreight exports and 27% of imports.
 Melbourne Airport is a freight
gateway into Australia, as the home to DHL and Lufthansa, two of
the world's largest freight companies.
The Lufthansa 'round the world' freighter service chose
Melbourne for its only Australian stopover. In 2000, Melbourne
Airport welcomed DHL, one of the world's largest freight companies.
Their Melbourne Gateway building was financed by Melbourne Airport
and completed in December 2000.
Melbourne Airport was in the best position to provide
Lufthansa and DHL the infrastructure and flexibility they required.
Its curfew free 24 hour operations hold significant appeal for
freight operators, giving a clear, competitive edge in attracting
export business. The Victorian Government is also committed to
ensuring this remains the case.
Around the airport there are 350 hectares of land, featuring a
Business Park and an Office Park in various stages of
development.
