The Tasmanian capital will see 11 per cent more passengers over the end-of-year peak than in 2024, boosted by route launches this year to destinations including Perth and Newcastle, with the state government also expanding its Aviation Attraction Fund.
Passengers with only carry-on baggage are now able to proceed directly from the airport’s skywalk into the new mezzanine screening area, which will have 10 lanes and is planned to be fully open to all passengers by Christmas.
Skyway, a joint venture between BMD Group and CPB Contractors, will carry out a major works package on the 3,000-metre runway, including earthworks, access roads, runways and taxiways, ground lighting, and other necessary infrastructure.
The research commissioned by the AAA and conducted by Zing Insights surveyed 500 Australians and found 78 per cent were in favour of passportless systems like biometrics to make the journey faster, while 71 per cent supported digitising the incoming passenger card.
A roundtable held at the airport in November endorsed the idea that the Queensland government should move regional services from Brisbane to Toowoomba, as reported by The Chronicle. It comes as the state prepares for a review of subsidised regional routes.
Slot demand for next year’s northern summer season, or the six months from 29 March 2026, has increased by 8 per cent over historical slots for the same period, according to slot manager Airport Coordination Limited (ACL).
