Avalon Airport Australia

Melbourne Avalon Airport is a cornerstone of regional and state infrastructure, located just 15km from Geelong and 45 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD. As Victoria’s second international airport, Avalon provides a convenient and efficient experience for passengers, offering low-cost Jetstar flights since 2004, and introducing FlyPelican flights to Canberra in October 2025. Operating for over 70 years, Avalon is proud to consistently deliver some of the highest airline load factors in the country.

Avalon operates 24/7 and supports both domestic and international cargo movements, with capacity for B747 and Antonov freighters. Its extensive runway and facilities allow direct connections to Asia, the Middle East, and the USA, supporting critical freight operations and boosting trade.

Beyond aviation, Avalon’s growing property precinct is home to significant tenants including Cotton On, PetStock, Australia Post, and Hanwha Defense—a key player in Australia’s newest defence precinct.

With a 60-minute catchment of 3.3 million people, Avalon is uniquely positioned to support Victoria’s growth. Looking ahead, the airport is developing Australia’s first fully integrated multimodal logistics precinct, combining sea, air, road, and rail for seamless freight movement and economic opportunity.

Avalon Airport continues to deliver on its promise: flying made easy, and a future built on innovation, connectivity, and regional strength.
