Blue City Airport Codes Practice Test 2026 – Complete Study Resource

IATA airport codes are the three-letter abbreviations used to identify airports on tickets, baggage tags, and flight schedules. For Melbourne’s main airport, the code is MEL. This code is assigned specifically to Melbourne Tullamarine, helping travelers and systems quickly recognize the airport in itineraries. The other codes point to different airports elsewhere (YYZ for Toronto Pearson, BOM for Mumbai, CDG for Paris Charles de Gaulle). If you ever encounter four-letter codes used by air traffic control, those are ICAO codes, like YMML for Melbourne Tullamarine, but for passenger-facing references you’ll typically see MEL.
