Aviation Attraction Fund - International Aviation

This stream is open to current and/or new International direct air access that will support delivery of the program objectives.

Applications are to be made by a Tasmanian airport and supported by an airline. All applications must be jointly funded by both the Tasmanian airport and the airline.

Funds may be applied to initiatives designed to build capacity and demand including, but not limited to:

• sharing commercial risk of services, such as cost offsets and seat subsidies.
• demand-generating strategies, including in-market promotion and media.
• an agreed minimum revenue guarantee.

In all cases, applicants must address measures to drive demand to utilise proposed capacity.

Applications will be considered in order of receipt until funds are fully committed.

Before proceeding with the application, please ensure that you meet all eligibility criteria in the Program Guidelines. 

For any queries about the eligibility criteria, contact State Growth by emailing aviationfund@stategrowth.tas.gov.au.

Eligible applicants must:

1. Operate an airport in Tasmania that supports, or is demonstrated to be capable of supporting, regular passenger services of the type proposed.
2. Have the appropriate authorities, licences, insurances, and approvals as required to operate the proposed service.

Ineligible applicants:

1. Any business that is trading insolvent, under external administration or bankruptcy.
2. Any business that submits an application without the required supporting evidence.
