Melbourne Airport (airport code MEL) lies to the north of the city of Melbourne, the capital of Victoria and one-time capital of Australia. It is the second busiest airport in Australia, after Sydney's Kingsford Smith International Airport. The airport is effectively its own suburb - it even has its own postcode. Recent upgrades have made the airport the first in Australia that is prepared to handle the new double-decker Airbus A380. Melbourne Airport is a hub for Qantas and a focus city for Virgin Blue, and will be the Australian base for Tiger Airways Australia, a subsidiary of Singapore's Tiger Airways.
