Melbourne is Victoria’s capital and one of Australia’s major aviation centres, with a busy mix of international, domestic and general aviation activity all within easy reach of the CBD. Pilots looking for pilot training in Melbourne are training in a city with a genuine claim to aviation history, and Aerosphere runs its Melbourne courses at a dedicated simulator facility, giving candidates structured MCC and ATPL flight test training without needing to travel interstate.

Melbourne Airport at Tullamarine has been the city’s main international and domestic gateway since it opened in 1970, taking over from Essendon Airport, which served as Melbourne’s principal airport from the early 1920s. Essendon remains an active general aviation airport today, alongside Moorabbin Airport, recognised as Australia’s leading general aviation and flight training airport. Melbourne’s aviation history stretches back over a century, and the city remains one of the busiest centres for pilot training in the country.
