Quirky Fact

The revenue from car parking & retail at Melbourne Airport – exceeds the revenue generated from Airplane operations…

Airplane operations = $171 million

Car Parking & retail = $183 million

The car parking componant was $70 million two years ago, though the Australian Pacific Airports Corporation has chosen not reveal the revenue split recently. Seems Jerry Seinfeld was right when he said the whole travel saga was a trick to sell the $7 tuna sandwiches!

The question for startups is this: Where is your extraneous revenue hidden in your captive audience?

  1. The amount they scalp you for parking does have the benefit of making it cheaper to get a limo with a few friends than to park there 😉
