Flying from Melbourne Orlando International Airport

Five airlines, Allegiant, American, Delta, Sun Country and TUI, serve Melbourne Orlando International Airport on the MLB airlines page as checked on October 18, 2026.

Allegiant lists twice-weekly nonstop service to Pittsburgh (PIT), Allentown (ABE) and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (CVG). American offers several daily nonstop flights to its Charlotte (CLT) hub, and Delta several daily nonstops to Atlanta (ATL). Sun Country flies twice weekly, seasonally, to Minneapolis and St. Paul (MSP). TUI flies from the United Kingdom, with flights to Melbourne originating at Birmingham, Belfast, Glasgow, London Gatwick, Manchester and Newcastle.

The route map is narrower than the airline count suggests. Charlotte and Atlanta are the only routes the airlines page describes with several daily nonstop flights, while the Allegiant and Sun Country routes are listed as twice weekly. One more route has been announced: an MLB release dated June 30, 2026 says Delta will fly seasonal weekend nonstops between MLB and New York LaGuardia (LGA) on Saturdays and Sundays from December 19, 2026, through May 2, 2027, timed to Port Canaveral's weekend cruise schedule. In the same release, Executive Director Greg Donovan calls Delta the largest carrier at MLB for many years.

TUI flies to MLB from six airports in the United Kingdom, according to the airport's airlines page.

TUI is the airline that links MLB with the United Kingdom, and the same page says its flights to MLB originate from cities throughout the UK, including Birmingham (BHX), Belfast (BFS), Glasgow (GLA), London Gatwick (LGW), Manchester (MAN) and Newcastle (NCL), and it points travelers to a TUI monthly flight schedule instead of listing days of the week.

The terminal is fitted out for those flights. The amenities page lists an expanded international baggage claim among the renovation's additions, describes Core Plus Duty Free as open to international and domestic travelers, and names premium TUI customers among the guests admitted to the Premium Lounge. The MLB home page adds that the renovation brought new passenger boarding bridges capable of supporting wide body aircraft. Private international flights clear customs under separate rules, described in the airfield section below.

MLB completed a $72 million terminal renovation and expansion in 2023 that added 86,000 square feet, according to the airport's airline business page.

That project, as the MLB amenities page describes it, includes a welcome center, new service gates, food and beverage options, expanded international baggage claim and four new sets of bathrooms. The same business page counts nine gates and quotes drive times of 45 minutes to Port Canaveral and 52 minutes to Kennedy Space Center.

Inside, The Tap Room sits between Gate 7 and Gate 8, Butcher Block Food on the Fly is across from Gate 7, Dunkin is past security across from Gate 1, and the Tiki Hut is a full bar in the domestic concourse. Core Plus Duty Free, across from Gate 8, serves both international and domestic passengers. A Hyatt Place hotel stands on the airport grounds a short walk from the terminal, with the Runway Rooftop Bar and Grill on top. The airside Premium Lounge at MLB operates seasonally from April through December and admits Priority Pass members, premium TUI customers and walk-in guests at $40 for adults and $20 for children 5 and older, with children under 5 free and a three hour maximum stay; DragonPass is not accepted.

The Melbourne Airport Authority, a volunteer board with seats tied to the City of Melbourne, governs MLB, and Greg Donovan is its executive director.

The authority's board page lists seven seats: a chairman and a second member at large, three City Council representatives, a Melbourne Regional Chamber representative and an airport tenant representative. As of October 18, 2026, the council seats are held by Vice Chairman Mark LaRusso, Mayor Paul Alfrey and David Neuman, whom the board page titles Vice Mayor, and Bill Potter is chairman. Donovan leads a staff that includes directors of business development, operations and maintenance, finance and administration, capital improvements, and public safety.

The two official lists disagree on that title. The Melbourne City Council page lists Julie Kennedy as Vice Mayor and District 6 council member, with Neuman as District 3 council member and LaRusso as District 2 council member, so the airport page may carry an older title.

Passenger traffic is close to the airport's peak. The MLB home page says the airport served 747,691 total passengers in 2023, a total surpassed only by its top year ever, 1990. The same page says MLB tenants contribute more than $3 billion a year to the Space Coast economy. The wartime naval air station chapter of the airfield is covered on a separate Melbourne history page.

MLB has three runways, the longest 10,181 feet, along with private aviation companies, flight schools and a U.S. Customs office for international arrivals, as the airport's business page and operations pages list.

The runways are 09R/27L at 10,181 by 150 feet, 09L/27R at 6,000 by 150 feet, and the crosswind 05/23 at 3,001 by 75 feet. The same page credits a 2023 Florida Department of Transportation study with $3.1 billion in annual economic impact for the Melbourne airport and says an average of 20,000 high tech professionals are on the MLB campus daily. Engine test runs use a ground run-up enclosure between the two parallel runways on taxiway C, sized for aircraft up to Group III; Airport Operations takes questions at (321) 288-1578.

Private flying has its own support network at MLB. The aviation services page names Sheltair as an FBO and into-plane fueler, FIT Aviation as an avgas-only FBO, and STS Mod Center, Heck Air and Southeast Aerospace for maintenance. The general aviation page lists FIT Aviation, Melbourne Flight Training and Eastern Florida State College's airframe and powerplant mechanics programs, and points pilots to the Melbourne Area Pilots Association. International private arrivals clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection at MLB, a user fee and landing rights port; they cannot be processed during scheduled international airline operations, from one hour before to two hours after, and weekend arrivals must be arranged with the Melbourne CBP office before 4 p.m. the Friday prior. CBP at MLB answers at 321-674-5796 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

CBP's own port page for Melbourne lists the office as port code 1885 at One Air Terminal Parkway, with the same phone and weekday hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., closed Saturday and Sunday. It describes the port as an airport environment with passenger and cargo processing, designates it a Class A port of entry, places it under the Tampa field office, and routes drivers from I 95 by the Eau Gallie Boulevard exit, Wickham Road and NASA Boulevard.

Parking at MLB costs $1.00 per 20 minutes, up to $16.00 per 24 hours, in a lot on airport property a short walk from ticketing, according to the MLB parking page.

That page also lists the rates of $1.00 per 20 minutes with a $16.00 maximum per 24 hours, accessible spaces near the terminal entrance, and a free Cell Phone Waiting Lot, open 24/7, off the Return to Terminal road. For help in the lot, the page lists the Melbourne Airport Police Department at 321-288-0147. The ground transportation page puts the ride share pickup area outside baggage claim and lists taxi, limousine and shuttle companies by name and phone.

Eight brands staff the rental car counters near MLB baggage claim: Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National and Thrifty. The airport's contact address is 1 Air Terminal Parkway, Melbourne, FL 32901, with a main line of 321-723-6227.
