Leaving Melbourne
Melbourne is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Melbourne Airport (MEL), 19 km (12 mi) from the centre, whose 11,998-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Melbourne Avalon International Airport (AVV, 50 km), Melbourne Essendon Airport (MEB, 11 km), Melbourne Moorabbin Airport (MBW, 22 km).

Itajaí is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Ministro Victor Konder International Airport (NVT), 3 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 5,906 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Hercílio Luz International Airport (FLN, 85 km), Lauro Carneiro de Loyola Airport (JOI, 77 km).
