Facts on MEL
Did you know
When Melbourne Airport opened at Tullamarine on 1 July 1970, replacing Essendon Airport, it was built as a self-styled 'airport city' with a 300-seat cinema, an observation deck, and a restaurant helmed by a chef from a three-Michelin-star kitchen — amenities meant to make the airport a destination in itself.

The site for Melbourne Airport was chosen back in 1959, but it took over a decade of construction before the first international flight — a Qantas service to San Francisco — departed on opening day in 1970.
