Airport contact
Non-towered, security-controlled, CASA-certified aerodrome on Tasmania's northwest coast serving Devonport and the Cradle Coast region, 10km from the town centre. Sole sealed runway (06/24, 1838m asphalt, PAPI+LIRL) handles the RPT jet/turboprop service; the grass crosswind strip (14/32) is day-VMC-only and capped at 5,700kg. Rex Airlines formerly served Devonport (confirmed via Rex's own historical destinations list) but is confirmed absent from the airport's current published flight schedule and from Rex's current route list as of Sept 2026, leaving QantasLink as the sole confirmed RPT operator, flying Q400s to Melbourne multiple times daily (confirmed on both the airport's own site and Wikipedia). The specific claim of a June 2026 cessation with a 19 Jun 2026 final flight could not be independently verified against any reachable source and should be treated as unconfirmed pending a primary-source check. Pax figure of 121,562 for FY2024-25 is carried forward as a plausible BITRE-style regional airport traffic count, but BITRE's site could not be reached to independently re-verify the figure or its sourcing — treat as unconfirmed pending direct BITRE cross-check. Wikipedia's own historical figures (135,800 in 2014; 139,019 in 2010-11) are confirmed accurate as historical data but are stale for current traffic.

DPO Ground Handling Pty Ltd
Tasmania-registered ramp and passenger handling company; ABN ••• verified ACTIVE (registered 11 Aug 2015, location TAS 7310/Devonport) via the Australian Business Register. Contracted to service QantasLink and other scheduled RPT flights at Devonport Airport. Phone confirmed against Devonport Airport's own contact page as the general "technical, flight operations or administrative enquiries" line (•••); no dedicated company line was published, so this is the airport switchboard, not a direct DPO Ground Handling number.

World Kinect
AV TAS FUELS PTY LTD confirmed as a genuine, ACTIVE registered Tasmanian company (ABN •••) via the Australian Business Register, supporting World Fuel Services (World Kinect)'s claim of a local into-plane agent for Devonport. However, World Fuel Services' own network/locations pages returned 404 and could not be used to confirm the specific 24-hour self-service facility, fuel grades, or that the call-out mobile number belongs to this agent — downgraded from "available" pending re-verification.

Cargo handling

Qantas Freight
Phone independently confirmed via Devonport Airport's own contact page, which lists ••• as the QantasLink station line covering "aircraft arrivals and departures, ticket reservations, air freight, lost baggage, and all other airline related matters" — i.e. freight is handled through the shared QantasLink regional station contact rather than a separately staffed Qantas Freight desk. qantasfreight.com.au was unreachable (connection errors on every attempt), so the "dedicated regional freight terminal," the TAS 7307 address, and the 1 April 2025 import-only/account-customer restriction could not be independently re-confirmed and are carried over from the prior pass without fresh verification.

TasPorts / Devonport Airport
Both contact numbers verified word-for-word against Devonport Airport's own contact page: ••• for "airport related technical, flight operations or administrative enquiries" and ••• for the Airport Reporting Officer (24hr emergency contact). The airport's "Going through security" page still only refers generically to "our friendly screening officers" with no contractor named — but the airport's own lost-property contact for non-airline items resolves to •••, i.e. the airport operations mailbox itself is hosted on MSS Security's domain, suggesting screening/terminal operations are contracted out rather than performed by TasPorts staff directly. See new MSS Security entry.

MSS Security
Newly identified: Devonport Airport's own site routes its "Devonport Airport Operations team" / non-airline lost-property contact through the address •••, indicating MSS Security (a national Australian aviation security contractor) holds an operations/screening-adjacent contract at DPO. No separate phone number, and the airport's dedicated security-screening page does not name MSS Security explicitly, so the exact scope (terminal screening vs. broader operations support) is unconfirmed.
