Flights to Hobart
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Hobart is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Hobart International Airport (HBA), 16 km (10 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,947 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hobart International Airport | HBA | 16 km (10 mi) | 8,947 ft | 13 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,947 ft, HBA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 13 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
