Moorabbin Airport is planned for 720 fixed wing and rotary aircraft. This comprises aircraft in hangars, on licensed or tarmac parking areas and the remainder on open land allocated to aircraft parking.
The control tower at Moorabbin Airport is in the central western zone of the airport, adjacent to the MAC offices on Bundora Parade. Operating hours for the tower are published in the Enroute Supplement.
Currently both AVGAS and AVTUR (Jet A1) are available from several operators, with both fuel types being distributed by tanker vehicles. Self-serve AVGAS dispensers are also provided.
Moorabbin Airport maintains a non-directional beacon (NDB) located on the western side of the airport along second avenue.
Several GA aircraft types use navaids as a primary means of navigation and training.
The NDB has been retained in the Airservices Australia network to provide a back-up to satellite based navigational systems, although many newer aircraft don't have the required avionics equipment to use it.
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 |
