Private aviation gateway to Florida's Space Coast, 70 miles southeast of Orlando and 40 miles from Kennedy Space Center.

Airport guide

Melbourne Orlando International sits on Florida's Space Coast in Brevard County, making it the natural choice for passengers heading to Kennedy Space Center, Port Canaveral, or the beach communities between Cocoa Beach and Vero Beach. It handles both scheduled commercial service and a steady volume of private traffic without the congestion or procedural friction of Orlando International.

There are no slot requirements at KMLB, and ramp access is straightforward. Signature Flight Support operates an FBO on the field with fuel, lounges, and ground services. The airport runs around the clock, which matters for early departures ahead of launches or late arrivals after cruise embarkations at Port Canaveral.

Getting there

Melbourne is roughly 70 miles southeast of downtown Orlando, a drive of about one hour on the Beachline Expressway (SR 528). Kennedy Space Center is 40 miles north, about 45 minutes by road. Cocoa Beach is 20 miles north, under 25 minutes. Port Canaveral, the departure point for major cruise lines including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Disney, is 28 miles north. Vero Beach is 35 miles south, around 40 minutes.

Car rentals are available at the terminal. Car services operate throughout Brevard County. There is no rail connection to Orlando or the surrounding area, so ground transport is exclusively road-based.
