Devonport airport to close ?
I heard a rumour that Devonprt airport may be closed in the near future. The reasons being is due to the pullout of REX and also Qantas Link downscaling there operations out of the airport. The reason why services have been reduced, is because people living on the NW coast of Tasmania can travel the one hour or so to Launceston, and get on a jet for a cheaper price and they can also get direct flights to Sydney, Brisbane etc.
The new DOTARS requirements have also put more pressure on small airport operators as well.
Burnie airport will remain open, so I have been told.
