## Description

Three carriers share Wynyard/Burnie Airport (BWT): Rex flies Saab 340s to Melbourne up to four times daily, QantasLink adds Q300 services to the mainland, and Sharp Airlines links King Island and Launceston. The airport serves north-west Tasmania's population and tourism but lacks a dedicated freight terminal. Air cargo travels as belly load on these turboprops, while bulk and container traffic moves through the nearby Port of Burnie. Express consignments are typically routed via Melbourne for onward air connections. BWT is a passenger gateway backed by a strong sea-freight neighbour.
