Aircraft is a railway station in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, located in the suburb of Laverton, on the Werribee railway line. An unmanned station, it is in Metcard Zone 2. The station is located at the western end of the Aviation Road level crossing, which also provided access to the station.
The station consists of two platforms, in an island format, with a small steel shelter for waiting passengers at the Flinders Street end of the station. A large Metcard machine is located at the entrance to the platforms.
The Western standard gauge line is to the west of the station, and is used by interstate freight trains, and "The Overland" passenger service from Melbourne to Adelaide.
Aircraft station originally opened as a siding on March 7 1925 as "Aviation Siding". It was renamed to "Aircraft Siding" with a platform added in 1927 before being renamed again to "Aircraft" in 1963.
