Melbourne will become the biggest city in Australia by 2030, and with this comes added constraints on an already busy airport.

Melbourne will also subsequently overtake fierce rival Sydney. The city that Melbournians will tell you to steer well clear of. 

A spotlight has been shone on infrastructure, especially in the transportation sector, through the added growth. 

At the 151st IATA Slot Conference, held at the Melbourne Exhibition Center in the middle of November 2022, delegates from the aviation industry came from far and wide to discuss slots, future growth plans, technology and recovery from the pandemic, with Melbourne Airport being the host airport, it allowed them the opportunity to highlight growth plans in their city.

On the sidelines of the 151st IATA Slot Conference, I had the opportunity to sit down with Jim Parashos, the Chief of Aviation at Melbourne Airport, to discuss the COVID recovery, new airlines, future outlook and how necessary upcoming infrastructure will be for the airport, communities and travellers.

In addition, I was joined by Michael Cullen, SVP & Head of Airline Business Development at Melbourne Airport, to discuss all things Bonza, Australia's newest airline.
