“Our domestic and international passengers have informed us of the stores they want to see, and we’re delivering on that with high end brands that we know our travellers love.”

The luxury precinct will be set within a unique architectural space for an Airport, featuring a sculptured ceiling.

“Melbourne Airport has invested more than $50 million in the first phase of the retail transformation, enhancing the traveller journey,” said Gardiner

“This is just the start of our upgrades in Terminal 2 and we look forward to transforming the space with the aim of becoming the chosen international gateway to Australia.”
