Hobart international airport's sophisticated boarding management system.

Because, you know, it never rains here, so we have an open air terminal :mad:

Yes but airbridges means Capex, tugs and operators and maintenance . MacBank and related entities operate heavily on rate of return basis. Anything spent in HBA has to earn a better return than competing opportunities. Whether something is needed in HBA isn't that important.

The airports grand master plan was launched about 3 years ago and marginal improvements were just emerging. Master plan already out of date due to surging tourist numbers so improvements now halted while they re do it. :rolleyes:

But we still wont get airbridges, any expansion will be for retail, not passengers.

And increased landing fees? Offsetting the capex, and maintenance. The rest is the airlines problem :p

Which then becomes our problem as fares increase...
