Living in Brisbane the sun comes up around 4.30am in the peak of Summer but lately it gets light around 5.40am. It was a shock to the system to see it was still dark and it was after 7am.
But that didn't stop me from venturing out to the airport for the early morning movements.
Hobart International Airport (IATA: HBA, ICAO: YMHB) is located in Cambridge, the airport is 17 km (10 miles) southeast of Hobart. The major airlines servicing the airport are Qantas Link, Jetstar Airways, Virgin Australia and Tiger Airways operating domestic flights predominantly to Melbourne and Sydney airport. Both Virgin Australia and Jetstar have a single daily direct service to and from Brisbane. Due to the airport's southern location, during the summer months Skytraders operate regular flights to Antarctica on behalf of the Australian Antarctic Division using an Airbus A319.
Hobart Airport has just one runway, 12 / 30 and it
is 2,251 m by 45 m (7,385 feet by 148 feet) the airport is 4 m (13 feet)
above sea level. The runway is constructed with an asphaltic concrete
surface and can handle Boeing 767 and Airbus A300 aircraft. Boeing 777 /
747 aircraft can operate with a weight restriction. The airport has a
control tower and is operational from 6am (20.00 Zulu) to 10.30pm (12.30
Zulu) after that the airport is an uncontrolled airport; so pilots are
required to communicate via a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF)
to safely co-ordinate arrivals and departures.But that didn't stop me from venturing out to the airport for the early morning movements.
