Avalon Airport Prepares Major Upgrades for International Relaunch
Avalon Airport is set to add 1,000 new seats across its international and domestic terminals as part of extensive improvements ahead of new Jetstar international services beginning in 2026. The upgrades include enhanced runway lighting, new security systems, CCTV installation, upgraded control tower water connections, and an additional 500 parking spaces.
Upcoming Developments and Services
- The airport recently opened an upgraded freight facility.
- Jetstar will commence flights to Bali starting March 2026.
- A new public bus route will be introduced soon, adding to the existing SkyBus service.
New Public Transport Connections
A soon-to-launch Route 18 bus service will operate daily, connecting Avalon Airport to Lara Station on the Geelong train line, improving transit access for passengers and employees.
“The new bus route will deliver better public transport options for Avalon and ensure improved access for thousands of workers and passengers every day, together with the additional services on the Geelong Line delivered last year,” said Victoria’s Minister for Public Transport, Gabrielle Williams.
Economic and Job Impact
Victoria’s Minister for Regional Development, Jaclyn Symes, emphasized that the upgrades will generate around 80 new jobs and boost the visitor economy.
“This infrastructure will set the foundation for even more flights in regional Victoria for years to come,” Jaclyn Symes stated.
The combined improvements aim to support growing international travel demand and enhance transportation options at Melbourne’s second major airport.
Avalon Airport’s expansion promises improved infrastructure and connectivity, boosting regional growth and international travel capacity.
