About Hobart International Airport

Hobart Airport (IATA: HBA, ICAO: YMHB) is a domestic and international airport located in Cambridge, 17 km (11 mi) north-east of the Hobart CBD. It is the principal airport of Tasmania.

The Federal government owned airport is operated by the Tasmanian Gateway Consortium under a 99-year lease.

The airport maintains a conjoined international and domestic terminal. The major airlines servicing the airport are Qantas, Jetstar, Rex Airlines and Virgin Australia operating domestic flights predominantly to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. International flights to Auckland, New Zealand, operate two to three times weekly with Air New Zealand.

Due to the airport's southern location, Skytraders operates regular flights to Antarctica on behalf of the Australian Antarctic Division using an Airbus A319.

Hobart International Airport was opened in 1956 and privatised in 1988. Occupying approximately 565 ha (1,400 acres) of land, the airport is situated on a narrow peninsula. Take-offs and landings are inevitably directed over bodies of water regardless of approach or departure direction. The region immediately surrounding the airport remains largely unpopulated, which enables the airport to operate curfew-free services.
