Travel Time and Route

Melbourne Airport to Essendon Travel Information

Essendon is about 12 km by road from Melbourne Airport, one of the shortest trips we make. Most transfers follow the Tullamarine Freeway (M2) south from the airport, leaving it for Keilor Road or Mount Alexander Road into Essendon, depending on traffic. The last few minutes depend on where you are going, such as the shops on the main road, the streets around Windy Hill or the schools.

Typical Travel Time

Allow about 15 minutes in normal traffic. Weekday peak hours can add 10 minutes or more.

Busy Traffic Periods

Traffic on the Tullamarine Freeway and Mount Alexander Road is heaviest on weekday mornings and evenings, and school drop off times can slow the streets around the local schools, so your chauffeur checks live traffic and adjusts the route.
