Moorabbin, one of Victoria’s major general aviation airports and the second busiest in the country by aircraft movements, was previously owned by Goodman Group, which will retain a stake as part of the new consortium that also includes Rest Super and Aware Super.
The airport recorded a total 570,703 passengers for April 2026, up 41,606 on the same time last year and also surpassing the previous April record set in 2018. It comes after the airport saw one of its busiest-ever holiday periods earlier this year over the summer peak.
Chris Mills, who took over from Andrew Brodie after the latter’s departure in 2023, will leave the aviation sector later this year to take up a new opportunity after leading the airport through a “period of significant growth and transformation”.
Almost 200,000 domestic, regional and international passengers passed through Adelaide’s terminals in the week from 7–13 April, with the full month seeing a total of 791,000 people, up 4 per cent on the previous year.
The three-month trial, run in conjunction with Sydney Airport and SITA, commenced this week at Gate 10 and is designed to gather information on potential benefits including fewer boarding pass errors. The gate technology will be in use at Western Sydney International when it opens this year.
