Hobart International Airport is a near sea-level field at 13 ft (4 m), positioned at 42.8370° S, 147.5130° E in the Southern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 8,947 ft / 2,727 m. The airport clock uses Australia/Hobart (GMT+10, UTC+10:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Hobart is the closest retained city-time anchor at 16 km. AVV Geelong/Melbourne is the closest retained airport alternative at 592 km.
HBA is compared with AVV Geelong/Melbourne at 592 km, MEL Melbourne at 618 km, SYD Sydney (Mascot) at 1039 km, ADL Adelaide at 1171 km, NTL Williamtown at 1179 km inside the retained Australia airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
HBA-AVV Geelong/Melbourne: 592 km, about 1h 35m, +0h. HBA-MEL Melbourne: 618 km, about 1h 37m, +0h. HBA-SYD Sydney (Mascot): 1039 km, about 2h 9m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at hobartairport.com.au, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
HBA uses Australia/Hobart (GMT+10, UTC+10:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Hobart International Airport is about 16 km from central Hobart (Cambridge); build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
