Australia Pacific Airports Corporation Limited

Australia Pacific Airports Corporation (APAC), in conjunction with the Launceston City Council, acquired the lease for Launceston Airport in May 1998. The Airport is majority Australian owned and is managed locally for the benefit of the region. But now Launceston Airport has an added strength of the Launceston City Council and APAC´s shareholders (AMP, Deutcsche Asset Management-RREEF Infrastructure, and Hastings Funds Management Limited) behind it. We are committed to the long-term safe and secure operation of the Airport.

As an airport operator we have 3 main responsibilities.

• We must maintain the quality, security and safety of Launceston Airport.
• We have a duty to our stakeholders to ensure the business is successful and able to compete in the long term.
• We must be a responsible member of the community to ensure the continued positive effects of the Airport.

Specifically, we are responsible for the airfield, management of the car park and the car rental and cafeteria concessions, service infrastructure, the Airport´s long term planning and development and aviation security compliance and environmental compliance. Air Traffic Control and Fire and Rescue Services are the responsibility of Air Services Australia.
