One hundred years on from this momentous<br />

achievement, <strong>Victoria</strong>’s aviation <strong>and</strong> aerospace sector<br />

has grown to include over 500 businesses as well as<br />

world-class research institutes <strong>and</strong> education providers.<br />

Home to the largest number of aviation <strong>and</strong> aerospace<br />

companies in the country, Melbourne has been at the<br />

centre of both aircraft manufacturing <strong>and</strong> maintenance<br />

in Australia for over half a century. <strong>Victoria</strong>’s aviation<br />

<strong>and</strong> aerospace sector exported over $800 million in<br />

products <strong>and</strong> services in 2008-09.<br />

Melbourne has an established aerospace precinct at<br />

Fisherman’s Bend in Port Melbourne consisting of<br />

manufacturers, design organisations, educational<br />

providers <strong>and</strong> research facilities, as well a growing<br />

aviation hub at Melbourne Airport.<br />

Established centre for MRO<br />

Situated in one of the world’s most vibrant growth<br />

corridors for aviation, Melbourne is well positioned to<br />

become a major global MRO centre in the Australasian<br />

region. A recent study by IBM Plant Location<br />

International highlights Melbourne’s quality offering<br />

for MRO as among the best in the region. Melbourne’s<br />

offering stood out in some areas in particular,<br />

receiving the highest score for stability <strong>and</strong> risk, living<br />

environment <strong>and</strong> real estate (availability of hangars).<br />

<strong>Aviation</strong> services<br />

As the international gateway to southern Australia,<br />

Melbourne provides access to a catchment area of seven<br />

million people with a compelling mix of business,<br />

leisure <strong>and</strong> ‘visiting friends <strong>and</strong> relatives’ traffic.<br />

Already an important air traffic hub in Australia,<br />

capacity exists for further expansion at Melbourne’s<br />

two airports characterised by high levels of operational<br />

flexibility <strong>and</strong> efficiency. As an example of this, a recent<br />

benchmarking study found employee productivity at<br />

Melbourne Airport is about one-third higher than the<br />

average for other southern hemisphere airports.<br />

Melbourne’s role as Australia’s leading logistics hub is<br />

strengthened by international investment in aviation<br />

ground services at Melbourne Airport including Toll,<br />

DNATA <strong>and</strong> Menzies <strong>Aviation</strong>.<br />

In 2009 Melbourne Airport increased its international<br />

capacity by 12% <strong>and</strong> the <strong>Victoria</strong>n Government is<br />

committed to seeing this trend continue. The growth<br />

is evident in the number of new carriers Melbourne<br />

welcomed on new <strong>and</strong> existing routes <strong>and</strong> in the<br />

exp<strong>and</strong>ing capacity of existing carriers.<br />

• AirAsia X exp<strong>and</strong>ed to 11 weekly services between<br />

Kuala Lumpur <strong>and</strong> Melbourne, <strong>and</strong> launched<br />

services from Kuala Lumpur to Stansted London.<br />

• Etihad Airways launched direct Airbus A340 services<br />

between Melbourne <strong>and</strong> Abu Dhabi.<br />

• Singapore Airlines introduced new A380 services<br />

between Melbourne <strong>and</strong> Singapore.<br />
