Hobart Airport (HBA) Information

Where is Hobart Airport? HBA Hobart Airport is the primary passenger and freight airport of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Hobart Airport is located on the Eastern shore of the Derwent River, near the semi-rural/industrial suburb of Cambridge; approximately 20 kilometres from the city centre via the Tasman Highway. Being sited on a narrow peninsula, take-off and landing are inevitably directed over bodies of water regardless of approach/departure direction. This region, especially that immediately surrounding HBA Hobart Airport, remain largely unpopulated which enables the airport to operate curfew free services.

Although Hobart Airport has not had a regular scheduled international passenger service since the 1990s (to Christchurch, New Zealand), the official name of Hobart International Airport remains; Skytraders conducts regular flights to Antarctica on behalf of the Australian Antarctic Division using an Airbus A319. As such, the airport maintains its international terminal building, customs and immigration facilities.

The HBA Hobart Airport now serves over 20,000 flights which equates to 1.846 million people per year. Hobart Airport transportation from the HBA Hobart Airport includes several ground transport services but there is no HBA bus operating to/from this airport.
