Moorabbin Airport Traffic Stats:
These Stats are compiled from data available through Airservices Australia who operate the ATC system in Australia. ( Note: No figures are taken when the Moorabbin Tower is closed. The airfield is open 24/7 so therefore most AH arrivals and some Night Circuit Training is not included. Circuit training counts as one single movement. Data collected at YMMB is only for the 10 hour periods when the control tower normally operates.

(See Footnote: We believe that Bankstown (NSW) and Jandakot (WA) do replay the arrival tapes and do record traffic for the whole 24 hour period).

2007:
Total Movements in 2007 were: 310,322 - Making us the third busiest airport in Australia and the third busiest GA airport in the Southern Hemisphere! Our busiest year ever was 1989 with a yearly total of 396,000 movements, when we were the busiest airport in the whole of the Southern Hemisphere !!! )

2008: 
As at August 2008, (by Calendar) our movements were: 243,000 to date, which means we are in for a busier year than 2007 !

FOOTNOTE from Airservices:
Report Notes:

  1. Movements are the sum of Arrivals and Circuits multiplied by 2 ie (A + C) x 2
  2. Arrival data is only recorded during hours of tower operation, therefore actual movements at non H24 locations may be higher than published.
  3. Movements at each Port reflect movements at times local to that Port, ie. a conversion from UTC time has taken place on production of the report.
  4. Data Source: Eurocat air traffic control system, Tower flight strips and Tower running sheets
  5. Data is correct as at "Report run date". Changes to data after this time may occur as a series of checks and validations occur.
  6. Airservices Australia takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in this Report and excludes all liability arising from any reliance placed upon it. All data is provided for informational purposes only and independent expert advice should be obtained before relying on such data.
