Airport guide

Melbourne Essendon Fields Airport (YMEN) sits 8 miles north of central Melbourne. The single 6,302 ft runway handles every current business jet up through most ultra-long-range; ultra-long-range jets with maximum payloads occasionally plan around runway length and use YMML. Field elevation 282 ft, no density-altitude concerns. YMEN is Melbourne's principal dedicated business-aviation airport — close-in to the CBD with no commercial slot pressure. Australian-based corporate flight departments use YMEN as their default. Ground time to the Melbourne CBD is 20 minutes.
