Moorabbin Airport
Moorabbin (Harry Hawker) Airport is a general aviation airport for light aircraft located in Mentone, Victoria. The airport grounds are treated as their own suburb, designated the postcode 3194. Moorabbin Airport is the third busiest airport in Australia by aircraft movements. Moorabbin Airport has 5 intersecting runways, an air museum, helicopter terminals, a control tower, several flight training facilities, and a Direct Factory Outlets shopping centre on its land. It serves the general aviation needs for the South-Eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
Airport Terminals are currently only accessible by air or by road via taxi, hire car or private car. No public transport buses operate into the airport as there is no provision for bus stops. The nearest public bus stop is 1.8 km from the main passenger terminal to the North on Centre Dandenong Road.
