Melbourne International Airport

Using the Melbourne International Airport airport profile

Melbourne International Airport serves Melbourne, AU, at reference coordinates -37.6733, 144.8430. Its canonical aviation identifier on PocketWorld is ICAO code YMML| IATA: MEL. The listed elevation and timezone come from the airport reference catalog and help place the airfield on the globe; they are not a substitute for an aeronautical information publication or a current airport notice.

Geographically, Melbourne International Airport is recorded in Melbourne, Victoria, AU, south of the equator and east of Greenwich. At 434 feet in the reference catalog, it is grouped here as a moderate-elevation airport; its timezone identifier is Australia/Melbourne. These stable attributes help distinguish the airport from places with similar names or shared metropolitan codes. You can also open the Melbourne city profile.

The flight section reports only aircraft found in PocketWorld's latest available public ADS-B snapshot with enough origin or destination metadata to associate them with MEL. Receiver coverage, provider availability, transponder settings and metadata quality vary by region and aircraft. A flight can therefore be operating normally without appearing here, and a callsign or airport pair can be missing, delayed or stale.

Position data is not an airline schedule

An observed aircraft position can help explain where a flight was recently seen, together with altitude, speed and route fields when those values are present. It does not by itself confirm a gate, terminal, boarding time, delay, diversion or cancellation. Arrivals and departures shown here are matches from public telemetry, not a complete airport operations board.
