Hobart Airport HBA expansion

[RooFlyer]

At MCY QF now have a cattle ramp for the 717 meaning wheelchair pax are now wheeled onto the aircraft which speeds things up considerably.
As well as being much easier for me.

Hobart have announced that they are going to trial the ramps.

No flies on HBA managment, keeping up with MCY.

In the early 90s we could start a QF RTW from MCY with a MCY-BNE sector.We also had a lounge.That went with the new terminal in 1997..

Though LST are for the Crash 8's.Also in DPO and WYA.The ones for the 717 are relatively recent for MCY.

Yup, DH8 ones in LST. OOL reach up to the 737 and 717s that QF use there.

Second QF service to Sydney, I guess you mean?

When JetStar started, Alan Joyce decreed that Hobart would be a JetStar ( only) destination. No QF flights.

Well! The pollies weren't having a bar of that! QF flights remained, and of course have expanded. Pollies for some useful things

2030 and $100mil?

Is the $100 announcement date or 2030 value.

If 2030 then the present value might be say $60-70 mil?.

Take your pick - whichever is smaller. Last time, their master plan lasted about 4 years before it was out of date and had to be stopped, and revised.
