MEL Airport Code: Melbourne Airport IATA & ICAO

Melbourne Airport (MEL) is stored for Melbourne, Australia. ICAO YMML. Timezone Australia/Melbourne. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

MEL is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Melbourne Airport in Melbourne, Australia (AU). The matching ICAO identifier is YMML. Travel agents see MEL on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example MELLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO YMML is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is Australia/Melbourne. This code page explains how MEL is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for Australia: SYD (Sydney), BNE (Brisbane), PER (Perth), ADL (Adelaide), CNS (Cairns). Related IATA city code in this dataset: MEL. To turn a booked PNR that contains MEL into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

How to use this page

Confirm the three-letter token on the ticket or PNR is MEL, not a similar code.
Open the PNR parser and paste the full itinerary that contains MEL.
Convert and check that city and timezone match this record.
Use the airport-code page if you only need IATA versus ICAO for MEL.
Do not copy terminal or lounge claims from other websites onto this page. They are not stored here.

Example

Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 MELLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read MEL as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If MEL is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
