## Description

With five runways and tens of thousands of movements a year driven by flight training, Melbourne Moorabbin Airport (IATA: MBW, ICAO: YMMB) in south-east Melbourne is one of Australia's busiest general-aviation fields; its longest runway, 17L/35R, measures about 1,335 m. Its traffic is dominated by more than ten flying schools, light aircraft and charter work, with no scheduled passenger or freight services and no cargo terminal. Air freight for the Melbourne region is handled at Tullamarine and Essendon, while Moorabbin focuses on training, private aviation, maintenance and helicopter operations. For forwarders, MBW has no role in goods transport beyond the occasional specialist or general-aviation charter.
