Launceston Airport is a fast-growing regional airport in Tasmania. With 1.2 million passengers it is the 13th busiest airport in Australia and the second busiest in Tasmania, after Hobart International Airport. A major redevelopment project completed in 2009 increased the terminal capacity and added improved passengers facilities like baggage carousel, larger lounges and added a few cafes and shops.
Virgin Australia and Jetstar offer multiple daily flights to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane while Qantas only offer flights to Melbourne only. Sharp Airlines offer flights to some regional destinations.
