Tourist Information & Services Western Junction, Northern Midlands, Tasmania
Handling over 1.4 million passengers annually and strategically placed just 15km from the city, Launceston Airport serves many nearby iconic tourist locations and creates an immediate “sense of place” on arrival.
The closest and most convenient airport to the icons of Cradle Mountain, Wineglass Bay, Flinders Island, Mountain Bike Trails and Grazing Trails, the airport is served by Qantas, Virgin Australia, Jetstar and Sharp Airlines and is home to the Tasmanian Royal Flying Doctor Service. The airport belies its pleasant rural setting, with deceptively modern, efficient, clean, easily navigable facilities, punching well above its weight, displaying all the attributes befitting that of a larger city airport.
The airport showcases quality and distinctly local Tasmanian products and produce through retail/dining opportunities, with a strong Tasmanian flavour, in distinctive, comfortable surroundings.
