Melbourne International Airport (IATA: MLB, ICAO: KMLB, FAA LID: MLB) is a public airport located 1 1/2 miles northwest of the downtown business district of Melbourne, a city in Brevard County, Florida, United States. Located on central Florida's Space Coast, the airport is accessed via NASA Boulevard (State Road 508). It is governed by a seven-member board which is appointed by the Melbourne City Council and the private sector. The airport budget is contained within the Melbourne municipal budget. The airport receives no local tax dollars. The projected expenses for 2010 is $14.1 million. History
Melbourne International Airport began in 1928 when a Pitcairn Aircraft landed on a cow pasture strip north of Kissimmee Highway.
Airmail service commenced in late 1928 when the airport was designated a fueling stop. In 1933, the City of Melbourne acquired 160 acres (65 ha) west of Indian River Bluff to develop as a new location for the airport, which was further developed and operated as Naval Air Station Melbourne during World War II.
Returned to the city as a Surplus Property Airport after the War, Melbourne Airport was deeded to the city in 1947. It was operated as a municipal airport until 1967 at which time the city created the Melbourne Airport Authority to plan, operate, maintain, and develop the airport.
In the early 1980s, filmmaker Jim Jarmusch shot some ending scenes for his award-winning film Stranger Than Paradise in the Melbourne area. This included several important plot scenes shot at the "Melbourne Regional Airport" (as listed in the credits).
The Authority operated a recreational vehicle site, "Port O' Call." This was closed and the tenants evicted in 2003. The intent was to use the property for commercial development.
The Melbourne Airport Authority operates Tropical Haven (formerly Trailer Haven), a 759-site manufactured home park. As of 2010, the airport has non-stop service to Atlanta via Delta Air Lines and its regional partner Atlantic Southeast Airlines, as well as non-stop service to Charlotte Douglas International Airport via US Airways and its regional partner PSA Airlines. In the past, Delta has flown non-stop from Melbourne to its hubs in Cincinnati, New York-JFK and New York-La Guardia, as well as point-to-point routes to Washington-Dulles and Washington-Reagan; all of this service was discontinued. USA3000 Airlines also briefly served Melbourne with flights to Baltimore/Washington, American Airlines also serviced Melbourne with flights to Raleigh-Durham, and Continental serviced Melbourne as well with service to Newark-Liberty.
Statistics
Monthly passengers were at a seasonal low in September 2007 at 14,083. A high was experienced in March 2010 of 41,725. Total enplaned and deplaned passengers for 2008 numbered about 286,000.
229,000 used the airport in 2009, a 24% drop from the prior year.
