Fleet

Tasair (IATA: TA) was an Australian regional carrier that operated from 1965 until its voluntary liquidation on February 3, 2012. Headquartered in Hobart, the airline built its reputation serving the communities and regions of Tasmania with reliable regional air services.

The airline operated from Hobart International Airport as its main hub, connecting regional destinations across Tasmania. Tasair's network focused on shorter routes typical of regional aviation in Australia, providing essential connectivity to areas underserved by larger carriers.

Tasair's fleet comprised five aircraft types suited to regional operations: the British Aerospace Jetstream 31, Cessna 172, Aero Commander 500, Cessna 206, and Piper PA-31 Navajo. These aircraft allowed the airline to serve smaller airfields and maintain flexible scheduling across its regional network before the airline's closure.
