   The International Terminal of Hobart Airport was opened in 1983 to facilitate Trans-Tasman air traffic. During 1985 the terminal was upgraded along with the runway to provide limited 747 operations. There have been no regular international flights served by the airport since 1998, when Air New Zealand suspended operations to Christchurch, however the operators of the airport have expressed an interest in resuming international flights in the future. At present the Terminal is used by Virgin Blue and Tiger Airways for domestic arrivals, Skytraders for flights to Antarctica and occasional charter airline flights, there being two such flights, by First Choice Airways, in 2009. The terminal's apron has a single wide-body parking bay overlapping two narrow-body bays. This bay is able to accommodate large wide-body aircraft up to and including Boeing 747-400 and 777-200. The international Terminal's baggage carousel and apron are currently used for domestic operations as well as Skytraders' operations.
