Or, the officer can simply power up the drone and hand off control to a remote pilot in a patrol-led drone as first responder (DFR) set-up—and return focus to the action on the ground. Add dock-based drones for even more comprehensive coverage where you need it.

The emphasis is on having the drone in the patrol car, with the officer, ready to fly. Skydio makes it easy. It allows the officer to focus more on the mission.

For even longer stays, you may consider pre-booking short-term parking at one of the Melbourne Airport car parks. There are heaps of parking options to choose from, whether you’re after low-cost, self-park, or Valet Parking services. Except for the Value Car Park, our onsite parking spaces are just a short walk from the airport terminals, making pick-ups a breeze.

Melbourne Airport’s pick-up areas have a strict 1-minute standing time limit. If you’re too early or your passenger is held up at the security lines or the baggage carousels, you may need somewhere to wait for them. That’s where the Wait Zone comes in handy.

Parking at Melbourne Airport’s Wait Zone is free for the first 60 minutes. If you stay longer, from 60 minutes up to two hours, it costs $4. Any time beyond an hour, you'll pay the standard Terminal Car Park drive-up rates.

The best part? Parking for the first 60 minutes is completely free! So you can relax in your car, catch up on emails, or read a book without any worries. After 60 minutes, there's a small fee, but it's significantly cheaper than the standard parking rates at offsite parking facilities.

This is a game-changer - it's a force multiplier in itself..it's adding the new Al technology into how our squadron operates.

The Wait Zone is a designated area at Melbourne Airport where you can park your car and wait for arriving passengers. It's not close enough to walk to the terminals, but it’s within the airport vicinity. So it's best suited for those who arrive early for pick-up and want to avoid circling the airport. When your passenger is ready, you can simply drive to the airport pick-up zone and collect them.

Arrived a little too early to pick someone up at Melbourne Airport? Use our Wait Zone near the Tullamarine Freeway for up to 60 minutes—absolutely free! It's perfect for pick-ups without the rush.
