The view from my "office"

[mel-world]

Four views of the Grand Tenton Range from Jackson Lake Lodge. Highly recommended as a place to stay - but maybe not in July!

Hobart international airport's sophisticated boarding management system.

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

Get HSBC or RBS to build you some jetbridges?

Getting MacBank to spend ANY money on HBA like getting blood from a stone.

They clearly have forgotten that they can be used as billboards to produce advertising revenue

Well Hobart is the second driest capital city in Australia...so you'll be just fine

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 Master plan already out of date due to surging tourist numbers so improvements now halted while they re do it.

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

We did it in in 2015 and we hope to definitely do it again - it’s a great day out.

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

Which then becomes our problem as fares increase...

Would love to have lunch with @TheRealTMA here ( Adelaide). Hopefully the lights will stay on.
