The Australian Government is seeking expressions of interest for the construction of an aerodrome and runway capable of supporting year-round aviation access between Hobart and Antarctica.
In 2018, the Government announced its intention to construct a 2,700 metre paved runway near Australia’s Davis research station in East Antarctica, subject to environmental and other Government approvals.
