As the Easter long weekend approaches, millions of Australians are preparing to take off to their long-awaited holiday getaways.
Hobart Airport is anticipating an 11% surge in passenger numbers and authorities are cautiously expecting one of their busiest weekends since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
Despite concerns about the potential impact of bad weather, which could lead to flight cancellations or delays, over 100 flights are scheduled to land at the airport across four days.
Hobart Airport has assured passengers that every measure is being taken to minimise disruptions and ensure a smooth travel experience, asking people to keep track of their flight status and stay in touch with their airlines for any updates.
The Easter long weekend is traditionally a popular time for travel, with many hoping the influx of visitors will be a much-needed boost to the local tourism industry.
