Launceston Airport LST / YMLT

Swissport's own network page for Launceston (LST) currently lists Passenger Services and Ramp Handling as station services, with a dedicated station email (•••). A March 2020 agreement with Qantas Group covered Jetstar/QantasLink check-in, ramp and baggage handling at Launceston (CAPA/CentreForAviation; also referenced in Swissport's own "Meet the Faces Behind Swissport" profile of Launceston station manager Bonnie Pouesi, not a local newspaper as originally logged). However, Aus Flight Handling posted on LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram on 8-10 Dec 2025 that it "took over" Qantas and Jetstar ground handling at Launceston, on top of its existing Virgin Australia work — so Swissport's current airline client(s) at LST, if any, could not be confirmed as of.

Ground handling agent at Launceston Airport (201 Evandale Road, Western Junction TAS 7212, per the company's own Locations page, which lists Launceston among ~19 Australian regional/domestic airports it serves). Confirmed on Virgin Australia flights by the company's own site; on 8-10 Dec 2025 the company posted on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram that it had additionally "taken over" ground handling for Qantas and Jetstar at Launceston, so it now covers both the Qantas Group and Virgin Australia there.

Into-plane fuel agent at Launceston Airport; confirmed as the named fuel provider ("MOBIL - Avtas Fuels Pty Ltd") in Airservices Australia's official ERSA/AIP entry for YMLT (facility page dated 09 Jul 2026), which also gives the operating hours and phone number below. Also listed in AC-U-KWIK under both a Mobil-branded and an Air BP-branded entry for Launceston, suggesting it acts as into-plane agent for more than one fuel brand there. Company registered (ACN •••), based on Evandale Road, Western Junction, TAS — the Launceston Airport site — and also services Burnie-Wynyard airport. · 0130-2130 local; after-hours call-out fee applies, 1hr prior notice required

Likely also performs on-aircraft transit/daily checks and defect rectification for Sharp Airlines' Launceston-based Metroliners operating the daily Flinders Island/King Island services, since the airline's engineering base is at Launceston, but this is inferred from the base-maintenance evidence rather than directly documented.

CASA Part 145 approved maintenance organisation based at Launceston Airport performing aircraft overhauls and heavy structural repairs, principally for Sharp Airlines' Fairchild Metroliner fleet; confirmed via multiple Sharp Airlines/Sharp Aviation Maintenance job postings (Senior Base Engineer, Aircraft Maintenance Engineer – Structures) explicitly located at Launceston Airport, Tasmania, including one still active as of Dec 2025.

Global private/business-aviation catering network (1,200+ airports); orders for flights into Launceston can be placed via its ordering platform. Universal Aviation's Launceston trip-support page lists "Catering Arrangements" as a Preferred Service Partner offering, consistent with catering being coordinated through the trip-support desk rather than a dedicated on-airport flight kitchen — Launceston's scheduled routes are short domestic turns typically restocked from mainland ports, not locally catered.

Tasmania-based company advertising "Aviation Cleaning Services in Launceston and Hobart" on its own site, describing itself as the most experienced aviation/airport cleaning provider in Tasmania; phone number confirmed on the same page. Company site does not itemise aircraft-interior/cabin cleaning versus terminal-building cleaning, so aircraft-cabin scope specifically is unconfirmed.

Named directly on Virgin Australia's own cargo-network page for Launceston as the on-airport "Virgin Australia Cargo Partner": "AusFlight Handling (Virgin Australia Cargo branded building), 277 Evandale Road, Western Junction TAS 7212."

Qantas Freight domestic terminal at Hangar 14, Evandale Road, Launceston Airport, Western Junction (also listed under postal locality Nile, TAS 7212); handles freight for Qantas Group flights.

Freight/courier terminal located on-airport at 1 Richard St, Western Junction TAS 7212 (Launceston Airport address), confirmed via multiple independent business-directory listings; operates under the former Toll brand, now Team Global Express.

National aviation security provider running ongoing freight/cargo screening operations at Launceston Airport; confirmed via active recruitment postings for casual "Freight Screening Officer - Launceston" roles (screening cargo and gatehouse security duties), including one still live as of 28 Jul 2026, requiring Certificate II Transport Security Protection (Air Cargo Examination Officer), a Tasmania Security Licence and ASIC. Contact number given is the company's national head office (Redfern, NSW); a Launceston-specific line is unconfirmed.

Self-handled: the airport operator's own "Airport Security Overview" page describes "our screening technology" and "our friendly staff" rather than a named third-party contractor, consistent with in-house passenger security screening; local newspaper coverage (The Examiner) has profiled airport security/screening staff and reported on the airport's security-technology upgrade to body scanners and CT x-ray baggage machines. Phone confirmed as the airport's published main contact number.

Listed directly on Swissport's own network page for Launceston (LST) as an on-station service ("Executive Aviation"), alongside Passenger Services and Ramp Handling — not merely a third-party FBO-directory listing. Charter/VIP ground-services coordination contact: •••, ••• (shared regional line).

Global trip-support network with a Launceston-specific coordination page confirming the phone number, address (201 Evandale Rd, Western Junction TAS 7212) and named contact (General Manager Derek O'Reilly, mobile listed under aog above); arranges permits, ground-handling coordination through local agents, ground transport and catering-ordering support for business/charter flights into Launceston. The page itself states services are managed "through our main FBO services office" and "trusted ground supervisory agents" — confirming no dedicated physical FBO facility of its own at LST.
