The new route 222 bus, operated by Kinetic, will run hourly between the airport and the city starting 29 June from 4am to 11pm, seven days per week excluding Christmas Day and Good Friday. Services will commence on 29 June.
The project, supported by $2.88 million from the Albanese government’s Albury Wodonga Regional Projects initiative, extends the western Taxiway Alpha as part of its broader infrastructure strategy to “support growing aviation demand and enable long-term expansion opportunities”.
The terminal, which opened in late 2025, was judged on “energy efficiency, operational performance, environmental impact reduction and sustainable building practices”, with GBCA chief executive Davina Rooney calling the rating a “significant milestone”.
The “comprehensive upgrades to the runway, taxiways and aprons” will be funded by $14.7 million from the Commonwealth, $14 million from the WA Government and about $12.9 million from the City of Albany, and will support passenger flights as well as FIFO and future firefighting operations.
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.
