If you had the opportunity to add a new, additional airport to Melbourne – where would you locate it?
Any specific areas or locations that it’d be handy to have an airport near?

We don’t need another airport, we simply need Tullamarine to be accessible by train, and not only back in via the loop, though that would be an improvement.
We need one at dandenong!
Ditto Tammy. Melbourne needs trains, trains trains. One to the airport, several more to cover Melbourne fringes and coastal regions. A bullet train to Geelong. A bullet train to Sydney and one to W.A.
Government bite the bullet stop spending money on roads and spend it on trains. The population is growing and it takes more and more time to get around. Having another airport just adds more traffic congestion and more CO2.
Melbourne does need another airport, simply because Tullamarine has a monopoly on all international flights. Both of them would need to be connected well to the city, but having just one is ludicrous. London has NINE airports, five of them handling commercial aviation from Europe and the world. Melbourne really does need two airports, but ignoring the need for an effective, inexpensive, high speed service for getting people from the airport to the CBD or hotels is not an option.
Obviously putting in an AFFORDABLE train line to the airport would be the best option, but if a 2nd airport was the only option, a new one in the eastern suburbs would seem to make sense.
