A dedicated taxi rank is located directly outside the terminal building, with taxis available to meet all arriving flights. Rideshare services, such as Uber and DiDi, also operate from the airport with a designated pickup area.
Several major car rental companies have service desks inside the arrivals hall, including Avis, Budget, Hertz, Europcar, and Sixt. Vehicles are collected from the car park adjacent to the terminal. Booking in advance is highly recommended, especially during peak seasons.
There are no direct public bus routes to and from the airport. The main alternative is the Launceston Airport Shuttle, which provides door-to-door service to city hotels and accommodation. It is advisable to book the shuttle in advance to secure a seat.
This airport is a former RAAF base, originally opened in 1940, and the only RAAF base built in Tasmania.
A lovely city, and very historic.
