Foreign exchange company Travelex has launched two new sites at Hobart Airport in Tasmania, Australia, as the airport prepares to welcome 3.5 million passengers by 2030.

The two new ATMs are located in the airside departures and landside arrivals respectively, strategically positioned to meet the growing demand of passenger traffic as the airport undertakes an ambitious $200 million terminal expansion, doubling the airport’s terminal footprint by 2027. Hobart Airport’s recent runway upgrade to accommodate widebody aircraft will enable nonstop international flights to Asian destinations including Singapore and Hong Kong in the next few years.

“Travelex is proud to expand its Australian estate and build on its legacy in Tasmania by supporting Hobart Airport’s world class terminal and runway transformation. Our expanded estate will enable us to conveniently serve the growing number of passengers requiring access to travel money, including future Asian destinations,” said Asokan Sathurayar, Managing Director, Australia and New Zealand, Travelex.

Travelex’s airside departures ATM dispenses Australian dollar, US dollar, New Zealand dollar and Indonesian rupiah, while the Australian dollar is available at the new landside arrivals ATM.

Travelex opened its first Tasmanian store more than 20 years ago in the CBD of Launceston, Tasmania’s second largest city, with a bureau implant inside leading travel agency Helloworld Travel. In 2024, Travelex unveiled a new store at Eastlands Shopping Centre, the largest shopping centre in Hobart, enabling the local community to acquire foreign currency conveniently in advance of their trip either walk up or online click and collect. In addition, Travelex support over 100 Australia Post outlets across Tasmania with foreign exchange cash services.

Hobart Airport Chief Financial and Commercial Officer Kate Gillies said Travelex’s expanded presence represented another important step in enhancing the airport’s customer experience as part of its $200-million terminal redevelopment.

“By doubling our terminal space and creating capacity for millions more passengers in the years ahead, we are focused on providing travellers with greater convenience, more choice and the services they expect from a modern gateway,” Ms Gillies said.
