Latrobe Valley Airport (IATA: LTB, ICAO: YLTV) is located in the Latrobe Valley town of Morwell, Victoria, Australia. The airport is about 2 hours east of Melbourne, off Princes Highway, on the west side of Traralgon.
Gippsland Aeronautics manufacture the GA200 agriculture aircraft and the GA8 Airvan, an eight seater passenger aircraft. Hazelton, Aus-Air (until they ceased operations in mid-1999) and Island Airlines run scheduled flights and the Latrobe Valley Aero Club (LVAC) is located here.
The airfield was originally located at Morwell and at Moe before moving to the present site - and the LVAC was instrumental in making the present field into a regional airport. The terminal building contains some displays of aviation artifacts - as does the club-house. There is also the Latrobe Flying Museum - its fleet consisting of a P-51 Mustang, a Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation Winjell and a Douglas DC-3 (Dakota).
