You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Melbourne Orlando International Airport''' ((Airport codes|MLB|KMLB|MLB)) is a public airport ((convert|1.5|mi)) northwest of downtown [[Melbourne, Florida|Melbourne]], in [[Brevard County, Florida]], United States, and ((Convert|50|mi|4=1)) southeast of [[Orlando]], located on central [[Florida]]'s [[Space Coast]]. The airport is reached by [[NASA]] Boulevard ([[State Road 508 (Florida)|State Road 508]]). It is governed by a seven-member board which is appointed by the Melbourne City Council and the private sector. The airport budget is part of the Melbourne municipal budget; the airport receives no local tax dollars. The projected expenses for 2010 were $14.1 million.<ref>[http://www.melbourneflorida.org/info/#budget City of Melbourne FL Community Information] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070216012740/http://www.melbourneflorida.org/info/ |date=February 16, 2007 )), melbourneflorida.org</ref> The executive director of the airport is Greg Donovan, A.A.E.<ref>((cite web|url=http://mlbair.com/AirportOperations/AirportOverview/WelcomefromtheExecutiveDirector.aspx|title=Welcome from the Executive Director|last=(MLB)|first=Melbourne Orlando International Airport|website=mlbair.com|language=en-US|access-date=2018-05-30))</ref>

Previously named '''Melbourne International Airport''', in 2015 the airport had been renamed '''Orlando Melbourne International Airport'''. However, due to a lawsuit claiming this name was misleading to passengers, the airport changed its name in May 2021.<ref>((cite web|url=https://apnews.com/article/orlando-business-oddities-0050ae5f37b0dde254e31b53981fb738

==History==
===Early years===
Melbourne International Airport began in 1928 when a [[Pitcairn Aircraft Company|Pitcairn Aircraft]] landed on a cow pasture strip north of [[U.S. Route 192#History|Kissimmee Highway]].((citation needed|date=May 2012)) Airmail service started in late 1928 when the airport was designated a fueling stop.((clarify|what does one have to do with the other?|date=October 2013))((citation needed|date=October 2013)) In 1933 the City of Melbourne acquired ((convert|160|acre|ha|0)) west of Indian River Bluff to develop as a new airport,((clarify|where was the "old" airport?|date=October 2013)) which was further developed and operated as [[Naval Air Station Melbourne]] during [[World War II]].((citation needed|date=May 2012))

Returned to the city as a Surplus Property Airport after the War, Melbourne Airport was deeded to the city in 1947. It was a municipal airport until 1967 when the city created the Melbourne Airport Authority to plan, operate, maintain, and develop the airport,((citation needed|date=May 2012)) then called Melbourne Municipal Airport. The name was Cape Kennedy Regional Airport and city officials changed the name to Melbourne Regional Airport in 1973 to better reflect its role.

In January 1951, the airport had runways 04/22, 09/27, 13/31 and 16/34, all being listed as being ((convert|4000|to|4300|ft)) long.((citation needed|date=May 2012)) Scheduled airline flights began in 1953. The April 1957 Official Airline Guide listed four [[Eastern Airlines]] departures, [[Martin 4-0-4]]s to [[Vero Beach]], [[Daytona Beach]] and [[Jacksonville]].((citation needed|reason=the OAG should be cited and the OAG text removed from sentence|date=September 2012)) [[National Airlines (NA)|National Airlines]] arrived in 1959 with [[Douglas DC-6B]]s((citation needed|date=September 2012)) and scheduled the first [[jet airliner]] flights in 1963: [[Douglas DC-8]]s Miami–Melbourne–New Orleans–Houston–Los Angeles and Los Angeles–Houston–Melbourne–Miami.

In 1960, Meadowlane Elementary School first opened at a Naval hospital on the airport grounds.<ref>Meadowlane Elementary School. [http://www.edline.net/pages/Meadowlane_Elementary_School/About_Us/SCHOOL_INFO "Meadowlane's History"], ''Meadowlane School Webpage''. Retrieved 04 November 2016.</ref> The school moved to West Melbourne in 1961. In 1969, a National DC-8 flew Los Angeles–Tampa–Melbourne–Miami. Houston and Los Angeles figured in NASA's space program, and Melbourne was close to the NASA Kennedy Space Center. In July 1974 a National [[Boeing 727]] flew Miami–Melbourne–Tampa–New Orleans–Los Angeles–San Diego;((citation needed|date=September 2012)) National [[Boeing 727-200]]s flew direct Houston and New Orleans to Melbourne.((citation needed|date=September 2012)) In May 1979 National had one flight a day from Melbourne, a 727-200 to Tampa.((citation needed|date=September 2012))

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, [[Eastern Airlines]] Boeing 727s, [[Douglas DC-9]]s and Lockheed Electras flew out of the airport. In June 1967 Eastern announced "The Space Corridor" from Melbourne to three centers in the space program: [[Huntsville, Alabama]], [[St. Louis]] and [[Seattle]].  Eastern's "Space Corridor" was a Melbourne-Orlando-Huntsville-St. Louis-Seattle [[Boeing 727-100]]. In June 1967 Eastern flew nonstop Melbourne to Atlanta, Tampa and Ft. Lauderdale and direct to New York City ([[JFK Airport]]), Washington, D.C. ([[Dulles Airport]]), Boston and Miami. In February 1976 Eastern flew a 727 direct Los Angeles to Melbourne via Atlanta; Eastern eventually dropped Melbourne upon the airlines closure in 1991.((citation needed|date=August 2013))

In the early 1980s some ending scenes for the film ''[[Stranger Than Paradise]]'' were shot in the Melbourne area, including several plot scenes shot at the airport (as listed in the credits).((citation needed|date=May 2012))[[People Express Airlines (1980s)|People Express Airlines]] started nonstops to Newark, Baltimore, Columbus and Buffalo, New York in spring 1982 with Boeing 737 jets. They eventually scaled back to just nonstops to Newark and ended service to MLB in 1986. Delta Air Lines started nonstops to Atlanta in 1983 with DC-9s and upgraded to Boeing 737s and MD-80s. In 1999 [[Spirit Airlines]] began commercial service to the airport.<ref>((cite web |date=1999-04-17 |title=Melbourne International Airport: Air Service |url=http://www.mlbair.com/airservice.htm |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/19990417043921/http://www.mlbair.com/airservice.htm |archivedate=1999-04-17 |access-date=2023-04-19 ))</ref>

===Development since the 2010s===
In 2010 the airport had nonstop flights to [[Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport|Atlanta]] on [[Delta Air Lines]] and regional partner [[Atlantic Southeast Airlines]], as well as nonstops to [[Charlotte Douglas International Airport]] on [[US Airways]]' regional subsidiary [[PSA Airlines]]. These flights continue on Delta and American. Delta used to fly nonstop from Melbourne to its hubs in Cincinnati, New York–Kennedy and New York–La Guardia, and to Washington–Dulles and Washington–Reagan; all of this was discontinued. [[USA3000 Airlines]] briefly served Melbourne with flights to Baltimore/Washington. [[Presidential Airways (scheduled)]] had nonstop flights to Daytona Beach and Washington, DC (Dulles), with [[Boeing 737]]s and [[BAE-146]] Jets. American Airlines served Melbourne with flights to Raleigh/Durham on MD-80 jets and Continental flew to Newark Liberty with 727 and 737 aircraft. [[Direct Air]] flew to [[Niagara Falls, New York]], and [[Punta Gorda, Florida]], with 737 and [[McDonnell Douglas MD-80]] jets.<ref>((cite news | title=Falls Airport: Direct Air adding flights to Melbourne | url=http://niagara-gazette.com/local/x546288206/FALLS-AIRPORT-Direct-Air-adding-flights-to-Melbourne | publisher=Niagara Gazette | location=Niagara Falls | date=November 11, 2009 | access-date=April 16, 2012 ))</ref>

Elite Airways began operating at the airport in 2014 with flights to [[Washington Dulles International Airport]].<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/todayinthesky/2014/08/25/elite-airways-melbourne-florida-dulles-washington-dc/14575845/|title=Tickets on sale for Melbourne, Fla.-Dulles service|publisher=[[USA Today]]|date=August 25, 2014))</ref>

In 2015, there were an estimated 15,000 paid attendees to the annual air show over a two-day weekend.<ref>((Cite news | first=Rick | last=Neale | title=Full Throttle Fun | url=http://www.floridatoday.com/story/entertainment/2015/03/12/runaway-air-show-sweeps-melbourne-march/70226842/| newspaper=Florida Today | location=Melbourne, Florida| pages= 1A, 5A | date=March 15, 2015 | access-date=March 15, 2015))</ref>

The airport's first scheduled international service was announced by [[Porter Airlines]] in September 2015 to [[Toronto]]'s [[Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport|island airport]].<ref>((cite web|title = Canadian airline coming to Melbourne|url = http://www.floridatoday.com/story/money/business/2015/09/14/new-air-carrier-melbourne-international-airport-space-coast-florida-canada-porter-airlines/72214676/|access-date = 2015-10-06|publisher = Florida Today|last = Price|first = Wayne T.))</ref> The airline discontinued service to the airport in 2019.

In 2015, the airport changed its name to "Orlando Melbourne International Airport". Airport and local tourism officials wanted to brand the airport as a less-congested alternative to Orlando's two airports. They also believed it would attract visitors who wanted to see [[Walt Disney World]], Cape Canaveral, and the area's beaches.<ref>((cite news|last1=Berman|first1=Dave|title=Melbourne Airport pushes 'Orlando Melbourne' name|url=http://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/local/2015/10/18/melbourne-airport-pushes-orlando-melbourne-name/74012918/|work=Florida Today|date=October 18, 2015))</ref> The airport is located approximately ((convert|70|miles)) southeast of the City of Orlando.

In 2017, a $20 million upgrade was proposed for the airport, 90 percent coming from FAA funds, almost $1 million from [[FDOT]] and $1 million from the airport.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/local/2017/09/21/faa-approved-18-million-grant-airport-runway-upgrades/690771001|title=FAA OKs $18 million grant for Orlando Melbourne airport runway upgrades|website=floridatoday.com))</ref>

In November 2019, British tour operator and airline [[TUI Airways]] announced that, from 2022, they would switch their Orlando operations from their current base at [[Orlando Sanford International Airport|Sanford]] to Melbourne. This announcement will see a total of 17 weekly flights to/from 8 British airports<ref>((cite web|url=https://ukaviation.news/details-of-tui-uks-move-from-orlando-sandford-to-melbourne/|title = Details of Tui UK's move from Orlando Sandford to Melbourne|date = January 6, 2021))</ref> and is to bring their operations nearer to [[Port Canaveral]] where TUI's [[Marella Cruises]] will sail from in coming years. As a package tour operator, this brings passengers closer to their cruises, although it has angered many TUI passengers who fly with the company to visit Orlando with [[Walt Disney World]]  and [[Universal Orlando|Universal Orlando Resort]] due to the extended airport transfer time.<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/tui-flights-florida-orlando-airport-melbourne-disney-world-holidays-a9185331.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220512/https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/tui-flights-florida-orlando-airport-melbourne-disney-world-holidays-a9185331.html |archive-date=May 12, 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=TUI to fly holidaymakers to 'Orlando' airport that's 70 miles away from the city|website=independent.co.uk|date=November 5, 2019|language=en-GB))</ref>

In July 2021, the airport announced a $61 million renovation and expansion, in part to prepare for the arrival of [[TUI Airways]]' operations from the [[United Kingdom]].<ref>((cite web|title=Melbourne-Orlando International Airport set to soar with new expansion|url=https://www.mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2021/07/20/melbourne-orlando-international-airport-soars-with-new-expansion|access-date=2021-07-21|website=www.mynews13.com|language=en))</ref>
