Melbourne Airport (IATA abbreviation: MEL), also known as Tullamarine Airport is Australia’s second busiest airport. The airport was opened for the first flights in 1970. It was to replace the old Essendon airport. There are four airports in and around the city of Melbourne. Like most major airports in Australia, Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin are the main airlines here. The carrier Rex also offers many flights, including to the lesser known and smaller airports in the country. Until the pandemic in 2020, Melbourne airport has grown since its opening, eventually reaching more than 35 million passengers a year. Four terminals and two runways are used for this.
