Digital modernization Hobart Airport is upgrading its operational efficiency with a shift toward real-time digital systems via OneReg for aviation safety and compliance, replacing spreadsheets and manual processes. This indicates opportunity to offer integrated compliance, data analytics, and workflow automation solutions.

Growth opportunity Projected expansion in direct and indirect economic contribution to Tasmania, with anticipated growth to over 1,000 full-time jobs by 2035, signals rising demand for services that scale with traffic and employment, including IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and visitor experience technologies.

Partnership potential Strategic partnerships are active or anticipated with major airlines and regional stakeholders (Jetstar/Qantas lounge expansion, Tasmanian Export Awards partnerships, Antarctic logistics). This creates openings for joint marketing, loyalty, passenger services, and airport experience enhancements.

Tech stack fit Current technology usage spans cloud, identity, security, analytics, and payments (Microsoft 365, Azure AD, Mimecast, Stripe, Matomo, Piwik PRO, Shopify). There is potential to cross-sell cloud security, analytics, digital payments, and customer experience platforms tailored to airport operations.

Visitor and accessibility initiatives Community engagement includes disability-friendly programs and passenger familiarisation tours, highlighting opportunities in passenger accessibility tech, tourism solutions, and inclusive digital experiences that can be scaled to improve rider experience and compliance.
