Melbourne is served by two main airports — Melbourne Airport, also referred to as Tullamarine Airport, is situated to the northwest of the city and is the main international and domestic hub. Some domestic flights from low-cost carrier Jetstar Airways also use Avalon Airport, located to the southwest of the city centre on the road to Geelong.
Two smaller civil aviation airports, Moorabbin Airport, to the south of the city, and Essendon Airport [1], in the northwest of the city, serve limited regional flights to Flinders Island, King Island and some other regional destinations.
