Melbourne Airport permanently closes its kerbside pickup and drop-off area, with airport operations shifting to a new designated pickup and drop-off location.
Across outlets, the reporting is consistent that the closure is permanent rather than temporary. The articles focus on the change for travellers and drivers, indicating that people using the airport for car pickup or drop-off must move to the newly opened area. The coverage does not emphasize reasons for the closure, nor does it provide detailed timelines beyond stating that the kerbside pickup and drop-off arrangement at the previous location ends permanently.
All sources refer to the same update: a new pickup and drop-off area has opened at Melbourne Airport, and the former kerbside area is no longer in service.
