Devonport Airport (DPO)

Devonport Airport (YDPO) serves as a regional gateway to Tasmania, located 10 kilometers from Devonport city center at Pardoe Downs on Wesley Vale and Airport Roads, operated by TasPorts. The airport features a single passenger terminal building designed to accommodate all necessary facilities and amenities for domestic operations, currently undergoing renovation as part of an overall airport upgrade project to enhance passenger experience and operational efficiency. The terminal includes essential passenger services such as domestic ticketing facilities, car rental company offices integrated within the building, secure paid parking for both short and long-term stays, and the exclusive Qantas Lounge available for Qantas Gold and Platinum Frequent Flyer members. The facility operates with two runways: a primary asphalt runway 06/24 measuring 1,838 meters by 45 meters, and a secondary grass runway 14/32 extending 880 meters by 30 meters, capable of handling regional aircraft operations. QantasLink operates four daily flights to Melbourne Tullamarine Airport using upgraded Q400 aircraft (replacing older Q300s in late 2024), while Rex Airlines resumed daily Melbourne-Devonport service in August 2022, making Devonport Australia's 40th busiest airport by revenue passengers. Check-in typically opens one hour before Rex flights, and passengers should note that the airport café closes after the last departure, so purchasing snacks early is recommended for evening or delayed flights.
