## Description

Cathay Cargo lifts more than 40 tonnes of fresh Tasmanian produce per flight out of Hobart (HBA) to Hong Kong — salmon, abalone and, in season, cherries — on up to several freighter services a week, with Qantas Freight handling the international side. This gave Hobart its first regular non-charter freighter link in decades. The driver is Tasmania's high-value, time-critical farm and seafood output; the state's merchandise exports recently ran near AUD 4.7 billion a year. Customs clearance is on site, and growers connected by road and ferry feed the volumes. For forwarders, HBA is a genuine perishables freight base, not just a regional airport.
