Tasmania aviation fund

[RooFlyer]

$5mill to attract international flights (and additional domestic??) to Tas (now that HBA has had its runway lengthened, and strengthened).

New $5 million Aviation Fund to attract international and domestic flights to Tasmania

The investment is set to encourage the creation of new routes and the extension of existing services…

Can't see it making much of a difference to the international appeal, although Air NZ may extend its HBA-AKL flights on the calendar. Domestic? To BWT or DPO would be handy.

Pulse was reporting “New direct flights: Tasmania in talks with Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines” recently. As much as I love the idea of flying direct to Singapore with Sq, I can’t see it happening unless it was part of a fifth freedom leg. The teasing is somewhat cruel.

A long time ago Rex used to fly DPO - LST. It was an extension of it;s KNS - DPO flight. We flew from KNI via DPO to get to LST.

I wonder if CX HKG-CNS-HBA might work?

I’d settle for CX HKG-ADL-HBA.
Was hoping that CX would have returned here by now

Hobart has a similar population to the sunny coast, I doubt anything beyond NZ will be sustainable
