A Rich Aviation Legacy
Essendon Airport holds a unique place in Australian aviation history. Originally established in 1921 as Essendon Aerodrome, it is one of the oldest operational airports in the country. Early flying enthusiasts and the Royal Victorian Aero Club first used the site. Later, the Commonwealth Government formally gazetted it for aviation. Over subsequent decades, Essendon became Melbourne’s main airport. It hosted commercial and international flights and welcomed world-famous arrivals. The airport was home to historic aviation pioneers and served as a hub during World War II.
In 1950, Essendon was designated Melbourne’s international airport, welcoming flights from around the world until the late 1960s. As aircraft technology and travel demand grew, the new Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) eventually took over international and domestic services. Since then, Essendon has become a general aviation, corporate, charter, and emergency services centre. It has retained its remarkable legacy and character.
