Aircraft Detailing at Melbourne Orlando International Airport

Sheltair MLB on South Apollo Boulevard lists 0600 to 2200 hours with an after-hours line, corporate and community hangar space, T-hangars from 975 to 2,400 square feet, and on-site customs support. Its AirNav entry also mentions complimentary interior cleaning. Florida Tech Aviation, a Part 141 flight school, sells avgas on the field as well, so trainers share the ramps with turbine traffic.

Melbourne tower and ground control work 0600 to 2400, and FAA data effective 29 October 2026 lists MLB as a customs user fee airport. Besides the main runway there is a 6,000-foot parallel, 9L/27R, and a 3,001-foot runway 5/23. One airport rule matters when planning time on the ground: general aviation aircraft may not park on the terminal apron without prior permission from airport management. The NATA and AvAdvisors 2025 table counted 5,896 business-jet movements at Melbourne, 13 percent more than in 2024, along with 1,966 piston movements.

The local National Weather Service office in Melbourne explains that from June onward the east and west coast sea breezes collide over the peninsula, which drives high lightning rates through the rest of the summer.
