Airlines that fly within Tasmania

Tasmania is Australia's only island state. If you’re flying to Tasmania from mainland Australia, you’ll likely land at Hobart, which is located down south and is the capital of Tasmania. But don’t just stop there; Tasmania is split into seven regions, each offing unique and unforgettable experiences. The East Coast is a popular stop, where visitors can enjoy stunning beaches, including the Bay of Fires and WineGlass Bay. The South West region is a sprawling and incredibly scenic national park. From Hobart, Airlines of Tasmania operates popular scenic and leisure flights to the national parks in the South West.


For more adventure, visit the Bass Strait Islands, two scenic islands (King Island and Flinders Island) sitting between Tasmania and mainland Australia. Sharp Airlines operates regular flights from Hobart and Launceston to these islands.

FAQs

Is a passport required when travelling to Tasmania from Australia?

Although isolated, Tasmania is a state of Australia. Therefore, a passport is not required to fly from Australia to Tasmania, and Tasmania's passport requirements state that a passport is not required to visit Tasmania from the mainland. However, but for practical purposes, it is recommended that you carry your passport with you, as you will need one to enter back into Australia. If you are a foreign national visiting the country, a visa might also be required; those travelling for tourism or business for less than 90 days can opt to obtain a 'Electronic Travel Authority (ETA)' for a small fee.
