    Facilities

    Air traffic control

      The control tower at Moorabbin Airport is located in the central western zone of the airport, adjacent to the MAC offices on Bundora Parade. The operating hours for the tower are published in the Enroute Supplement.

    Refuelling

    Currently both AVGAS and AVTUR (Jet A1) are available from a range of operators, with both fuel types being distributed by tanker vehicles. Self-serve AVGAS dispensers are also provided.

    Navaids

      At present Moorabbin Airport maintains a non-directional beacon (NDB) located on the western side of the airport along second avenue.

      This navaid remains operational, as a number of GA aircraft types use this facility as a primary means of navigation and training.

      This navaid has been retained in the Airservices Australia network to provide a back-up to satellite based navigational systems, although many newer aircraft no longer retain the required avionics equipment to use it.

    Runways

    Five runways service the Airport. Runways 17L/35R and 17R/35L are equipped with low intensity runway lighting. The current runways and associated lengths and widths are as follows:

    Runway Length x width (m)
    17L/35R 1335 x 30
    17R/35L 1240 x 18
    13L/31R 1150 x 30
    13R/31L 1060 x 18
    04/22 571 x 18
