Construction to widen the main runway at Melbourne Airport, Australia began on Tuesday (5 April).
The north-south runway is to be widened by 15 metres in preparation for the new Airbus A380. Australian airline Qantas has ordered 12 A380s and plans to operate a 500-passenger service between Melbourne and Los Angeles, reported Australia's ABC Online.
During the works, expected to last up to six weeks, all aircraft will operate from the east-west runway, which may cause congestion and delays during travel peaks, especially from 0730 to 0930, 1130 to 1330 and 1730 to 1930 local time, said an airport spokesperson.
