Frequently Asked Questions
The BLAK team answers the most common questions and covers the essentials for those thinking about flying to and from Melbourne.
Why do many private jet travellers choose Melbourne over other Australian cities?
Melbourne sits at the centre of Australia’s private aviation network. The city hosts some of the country’s largest international events including the Australian Open, Formula One Australian Grand Prix and the Melbourne Cup, which generate significant private jet traffic each year. Combined with Melbourne’s global food scene, major financial district and access to destinations such as the Great Ocean Road and Yarra Valley wine region, the city has become one of the most popular private jet charter destinations in the Southern Hemisphere.
Which airport is closest to Melbourne’s CBD for private jet arrivals?
For private jet travellers heading directly into central Melbourne, Essendon Fields Airport (YMEN) is typically the preferred airport. Located around 10 kilometres from the CBD, it offers one of the fastest transfers into the city and is widely used by corporate aviation and private jet charter flights operating into Melbourne.
Where do international private jets clear customs when flying to Melbourne?
Private jets arriving internationally into Melbourne typically clear customs at Melbourne Tullamarine Airport (YMML), which provides full time customs, immigration and quarantine facilities. In some cases, international private jet arrivals can also be processed through Essendon Fields Airport (YMEN) with prior arrangements for border clearance. Both airports support business aviation infrastructure, with facilities such as Melbourne Jet Base providing ground handling and services for international private jet traffic.

Melbourne is one of the busiest departure points for private jet charter flights in Australia.
