Melbourne Airport unveils $4.5 billion international terminal expansion

I get they are trying to improve the building but it really needs to be demolished and rebuilt. Won’t happen in private hands sadly.

I’m fairly sure the Ansett satellite dishes are still on top of the Virgin gates with the logo also.

The problem isn't that simple. How do you knock down and rebuild an airport while keeping it running... You can't.

So you have to either build a brand new terminal building (possible) and then move everything over after its done or do an expansion whilst keeping current core functionality working.

In this case its kind of a mix of both. They're building a whole new section in extra space they've commandeered. Once its done I suspect everything will funnel over there whilst they renovate the existing area.
